Abstract:
In this paper, we consider population survival by using single-species stage-structured models. As a criterion of population survival, we employ the mathematical notation of permanence. Permanence of stage-structured models has already been studied by Cushing (1998). We generalize his result of permanence, and obtain a condition which guarantees that population survives. The condition is applicable to a wide class of stage-structured models. In particular, we apply our results to the Neubert-Caswell model, which is a typical stage-structured model, and obtain a condition for population survival of the model.
