We thank Ellner et al.(2022; henceforth E22) for taking an interest in our recent paper on demographic modeling methods (Doak et al., 2021, henceforth referred to as D21). While the tone of E22’s comment might imply otherwise, most of their comment emphasizes points with which we agree and made ourselves in D21, and, as we repeatedly acknowledged in D21, are similar to past advice and critiques of demographic modeling by these authors and by others. There are, however, some areas of disagreement or differences in emphasis, and we welcome this opportunity to engage in a constructive dialogue on these points. Overall, however, E22 and D21 offer differing advice on fairly few substantial points about how to build demographic models. This is good news for ecologists and conservation managers who wish to use these tools to model population processes, estimate the vulnerability of target species, and provide effective management guidelines. Below, we outline our thoughts on E22’s main points.
