    Description

    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 author aims to avoid complicated mathematics, but gives full derivations of major theoretical results for the edification of the reader.

    • First edition was first book to cover this field - this edition brings ideas up to date, 1st edition received good press
    • Avoidance of complicated mathematics, but full derivations of major theoretical results given
    • Review of importance for broad spectrum of researchers in ecology, genetics, evolution, demography and gerontology
