To understand what stages in the life history of the harriers have the greatest impact on the dynamics of the population, we analyse the elasticities associated with the transition matrix \(\mathbf{A}\) \cite{Kroon00,Caswell2001}. The elasticities matrix \(\mathbf{E}\) has the same dimensions as \(\mathbf{A}\) and entries \(e_{i,j}\), such that
