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.Abstract:

Explaining "Noise" as Environmental Variations in Population Dynamics
TL;DR: By integrating a population dynamic model with models of contaminant/stressor fate and transport and biological organism movement, researchers can capture the impact of spatial and temporal heterogeneity on population dynamics, and ultimately develop and implement improved management decisions and policies.

Structured populations with distributed recruitment: from PDE to delay formulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the equivalence of the steady state problems in the two different formulations of the partial integro-differential and delayed integral equations was investigated, and it was shown that any non-negative solution of the delayed integral equation determines a (non-negative) solution to the partial differential equation and vice versa.

Efficiency against the Two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae and prey-age-related choice of three predatory mites
TL;DR: The results suggest that the generalist A. swirskii, but not I. degenerans, may be efficient in regulating prey populations through egg consumption, and represents an alternative to the effective specialist predator.

Age-structured population models with Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a general model of age-structured population dynamics is developed and the fundamental properties of its solutions are analyzed, and an intrinsic growth constant is obtained and linked to the existence and the stability of the trivial and/or the positive equilibrium.
