A logistic density-dependent matrix model is developed in which the matrices contain only parameters and recruitment is a function of adult population density. The model was applied to simulate introductions of white-tailed deer into an area; the fitted model predicted a carrying capacity of 21.5 de

The instabilities of the equilibria of a class of time discrete population growth models are studied. The models describe the growth of one species with age structure, where the survival probabilities are assumed to depend on the total population. Instability occurs when the fecundities or the survi
A simple metapopulation lattice model of two competing phenotypes is presented, where one phenotype reacts more sensitively to overcrowding by migrating to neighbouring local habitats. The sensitivity is formulated by means of a threshold density of the subpopulations, above which dispersal is trigg
