Abstract

A discrete-time structured population model is formulated by a population turnover map F on the cone of finite nonnegative Borel measures that maps the structural population distribution of a given year to the one of the next year. F has a first order approximation at the zero measure (the extinction fixed point), which is a positive linear operator on the ordered vector space of real measures and can be interpreted as a basic population turnover operator. A spectral radius can be defined by the usual Gelfand formula and can be interpreted as basic population turnover number. We continue our investigation (Thieme, H.R.: Discrete-time population dynamics on the state space of measures, Math. Biosci. Engin. 17:1168–1217 (2020). doi: 10.3934/mbe.2020061) in how far the spectral radius serves as a threshold parameter between population extinction and population persistence. Emphasis is on conditions for various forms of uniform population persistence if the basic population turnover number exceeds 1.
