An introduction to structured population dynamics

TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a case study of multispecies interactions with continuous models of age-structured models and show that these models can be used in a variety of applications.

Using a Density Dependent Population Model to Examine Sperm Whale Population Dynamics in the Gulf of Mexico Before and After an Environmental Disturbance

Mark Dibbs
TL;DR: The recovery time of a sperm whale population following a disturbance is examined, which is found to be the length of time it takes the population to return to a certain percentage of its asymptotic equilibrium value.

On the weak solutions of the McKendrick equation: Existence of demography cycles

TL;DR: The qualitative theory of the solutions of the McKendrick partial differential equation of population dynamics and of the Lotka renewal integral equation with time and age dependent birth rate are developed.
