A population model with birth pulses, age structure, and non-overlapping generations

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a population model with birth pulses and age structure.

• Successive generations are assumed to be non-overlapping.

• The population may die out, behave periodically, or exhibit chaos.

• Chaos does not occur when per capita mortality rates are strongly density dependent.

• Our model could be applied to populations of certain types of insect or fish.
