Evolution in Age-Structured Populations Paperback / softback
by Brian (University of Chicago) Charlesworth
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Mathematical Biology series
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
The populations of many species of animals and plants are age-structured, i.e. the individuals present at any one time were born over a range of different times, and their fertility and survival depend on age.
The properties of such populations are important for interpreting experiments and observations on the genetics of populations for animal and plant breeding, and for understanding the evolution of features of life-histories such as senescence and time of reproduction.
In this new edition Brian Charlesworth provides a comprehensive review of the basic mathematical theory of the demography and genetics of age-structured populations.
The mathematical level of the book is such that it will be accessible to anyone with a knowledge of basic calculus and linear algebra.
