Demographic transition matrices are among the most commonly applied population models for both basic and applied ecological research. The relatively simple framework of these models and simple, easily interpretable summary statistics they produce have prompted the wide use of these models across an exceptionally broad range of taxa. Here, we provide annual transition matrices and observed stage structures/population sizes for...

Land managers seeking to reestablish historical fire regimes need guidance on how to apply prescribed fire to promote the population persistence of endangered species. We explored extinction risks of Hypericum cumulicola , a fire‐dependent plant endemic to the Lake Wales Ridge, Florida ( U.S.A ). Stochastic and deterministic matrix population models based on six censuses ( 1994–1999 ) and data from several germination and seed...
