Figure 33. Envelope <strong>model</strong> (eq. 35) fitted (upper surface) to <strong>the</strong> whole dataset (lower<br />

surface). The dataset is <strong>the</strong> same as <strong>the</strong> histograms <strong>of</strong> Fig. 28A, but represented differently<br />

here to facilitate comparison with <strong>the</strong> <strong>model</strong>. Elevations (z-values, number <strong>of</strong> individuals) in<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>model</strong>'s surface are weighted according to <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> individuals surviving with time<br />

in <strong>the</strong> dataset (spline interpolation <strong>of</strong> actual values, see Fig. 29).<br />
