*Denotes SPSS Kruskal-Wallis comparison that is significant at p≤0.05.
Table 4. Mean population growth rate values associated with three unique
phases (complete cycle, complete cycle excluding eruption years, and
eruption years only) of the Qamanirjuaq, Bathurst and George River
subpopulation cycles. We compared the uncorrected values for population
growth rate (i.e., intrinsic + immigration). We used a confidence level
of p≤0.05 and significance values were adjusted by the Bonferroni
correction for multiple tests. Mean population growth rates for one
complete cycle for were significantly not different between any of the
subpopulations. Mean population growth rates for the entire population
cycle, excluding eruption years (intrinsic growth only) were not
significantly different between any of the subpopulations. Mean
population growth rates associated with only the eruption years for the
Qamanirjuaq versus George River pairwise comparison was significant, but
the Qamanirjuaq and Bathurst pair and the Bathurst and George River pair
were not significantly different.
