[R-sig-ME] Please help me to interpret this result

[Sachiin M H]

Hi,
objective - to examine neighbourhood effects on individual survival at
multiple life history stages.

Kindly help me to interpret the results such as
survival rates of sapling = ...... , Juvenile= ........, adult= ......



Metadata

survival= alive 0 and dead 1, size = sapling, adult and juvenile, con
and het = con and heterospecific density at 5 m radius, INT = 1,2,3
census interval, sp= species codes, quadrat = 5 1ha sites *100
(10*10m) subplots.
