a–d Comparison with the central estimates (coloured lines and 95% confidence bounds compared with greyscale lines and CBs) shows that, for all resource levels, using the upper and lower 95% exponents (Supplementary Eq. 1, Supplementary Fig. 1b) for the scaling between lifetime fecundity and size does not qualitatively change the predicted rm TPCs, or the matrix projection rm estimates (represented by symbols) that were used to fit the rm TPCs. e The insensitivity of predicted rm Topt to uncertainty in our fecundity estimates by resource level. Using the upper and lower 95% exponents (Supplementary Eq. 1, Supplementary Fig. 1b) for the scaling between lifetime fecundity and size does not qualitatively change predicted maximal rm (symbols with 95% CIs (vertical, coloured lines)) or rm Topt (symbols with 95% CIs (horizontal coloured lines)). Source data for the central estimates can be found in Supplementary Data 2; the other source data are in Supplementary Data 4.
