Demographic Models of Age-Structured Populations by Sarah Otto
Explore demographic models of age-structured populations in this comprehensive lecture by Sarah Otto. Delve into the fundamental concepts and advanced topics in population genetics, focusing on how age structure impacts demographic dynamics. Learn to develop and analyze mathematical models that predict population changes over time, considering factors such as birth rates, death rates, and age-specific survival probabilities. Gain insights into how these models can be applied to real-world scenarios in ecology, conservation biology, and evolutionary studies. Understand the importance of age structure in shaping population dynamics and its implications for species survival and adaptation. This lecture is part of the Sixth Bangalore School on Population Genetics and Evolution, offering a deep dive into theoretical frameworks essential for predicting and testing evolutionary changes in populations.
