Fitness versus longevity in age-structured population dynamics.

Journal of mathematical biology - 1 Apr 2002

Hwang W, Krapivsky P L, Redner S

Abstract excerpt

We examine the dynamics of an age-structured population model in which the life expectancy of an offspring may be mutated with respect to that of the parent. While the total population of the system always reaches a steady state, the fitness and age characteristics exhibit counter-intuitive behav...
