*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.
