The equation r = (ln R₀)/T represents the per capita rate of increase, where R is the intrinsic rate of increase, S is the survivorship, and U and B are the fecundity and age-specific survival, respectively. Taking the natural logarithm of the ratio of R₀ gives the per capita growth rate, which is then divided by time (T) to get the per capita rate of increase.
