The dynamics of a quantitative trait in an age-structured population living in a variable environment.
Time series of rapid phenotypic change have been documented in age-structured populations living in the wild. Researchers are often interested in identifying the processes responsible for such change. We derive an equation to exactly decompose change in the mean value of a phenotypic trait into contributions from fluctuations in the demographic structure and age-specific viability selection, fe...
متن کاملA Note on the Convergence of the Homotopy Analysis Method for Nonlinear Age-Structured Population Models
In this paper, a theorem is proved which presents the series solution obtained from the homotopy analysis method is convergent to the exact solution of nonlinear age-structured population models.
متن کاملA domain decomposition method for the diffusion of an age-structured population in a multilayer environment
The spatial spread of an age-structured population in an isolated environment is commonly governed by a partial differential equation with zero-flux boundary condition for the spatial domain. The variables involved are time, age and space, which will be denoted in the following by t, a and x, respectively. We denote by Ω ⊂ R (d = 1, 2, 3) the spatial domain and we assume the age of the populati...
متن کاملSenescence and antibiotic resistance in an age-structured population model.
Different theories have been proposed to understand the growing problem of antibiotic resistance of microbial populations. Here we investigate a model that is based on the hypothesis that senescence is a possible explanation for the existence of so-called persister cells which are resistant to antibiotic treatment. We study a chemostat model with a microbial population which is age-structured a...
متن کاملMultiple Equilibria in an Age-Structured Two-Sex Population Model
The complexity of age-structured two-sex population models has inhibited analysis of the uniqueness or stability of persistent distributions (i.e., equilibria in which the population grows exponentially with a fixed proportion in each age class). To offer some insight, this paper examines a special case in which couples dissolve only through the death of a spouse, and widows never remarry. Addi...
