In this paper we have studied a stochastic version of the Gompertz model for population growth of a single species after incorporating the aspect of heredity. Various statistical characteristics--the mean-value function, covariance-kernel, etc.--are evaluated for a delta-correlated process and their
Habitat loss, the reduction of the habitat area available, is known to greatly reduce resident species' expected time to extinction. This process is widely recognized, if not adequately understood or quanti"ed except in very simple models. However, it is not well understood how the time to extinctio
