Understanding the relationship between life‐history patterns and population growth is central to demographic studies. Here we derive a new method for calculating the timing of reproductive output, from which the generation time and its variance can also be calculated. The method is based on the explicit computation of the net reproductive rate (

Additionally, we compare a recently published method for determining population persistence conditions with the condition
