   FIG. A1. Life histories of three individuals (A, B, and C) over a five-year study period. Individual B and C are the two offspring of individual A that were born in year 2. Columns represent study years, rows represent the state of the individual and the number of newborn it has produced. Individual A was 1 year old and produced 1 offspring in year 1, it was still alive in year 2 (now it is in age class 2+) where it produced 2 offspring, it was still alive in year 3 but had no offspring, and it dies between year 3 and 4. Individual B died between year 2 and 3. Individual C was still alive at the end of the study and it produced 2, 3, and 3 offspring in years 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
