Table 4. Example of the frequency format, for comparison with Table 2, showing expected frequencies of populations exhibiting each category of the parameters (alpha and beta) that characterize the function relating recruitment to dry-season rainfall. Frequencies are based on 100 hypothetical populations of migratory Serengeti wildebeest with low levels of rinderpest, a food-limited, stable population size of ~ 1,200,000, and significant exposure to poaching.

beta

Low slope: alpha = 0.0 to 0.006

Marginal total = 10

Medium slope: alpha = 0.008 to 0.012

Marginal total = 81

High slope: alpha = 0.014 to 0.020

Marginal total = 9
