The sustainability of first-mover advantages depends on the initial resources captured by the pioneer and the resources and capabilities subsequently developed, relative to the quality of those held or developed by imitators (Lieberman and Montgomery 1998).
20 21 The scales are adjusted for age (in three month bands) and indicate how a child's cognitive abilities have developed relative to his or her peers.

We then took the geometric mean of these annual PIT-tag estimates to develop relative rates of return for fish migrating as juveniles during the three different time periods.
More recently, data, modeling, and resource limitations have motivated conservation organizations and management agencies to develop relative vulnerability indices (e.g., Bagne and others 2011; see examples in Rowland and others 2011).
