Leslie matrix

Matrices

The Leslie matrix is a discrete, age-structured model of population growth that is very popular in population ecology named after . The Leslie matrix (also called the Leslie model) is one of the most well-known ways to describe the growth of populations (and their projected age distribution), in which a population is closed to migration, growing in an unlimited environment, and where only one sex, usually the female, is considered. The Leslie matrix is used in ecology to model the changes in a population of organisms over a period of time. In a Leslie model, the population is divided into groups based on age classes. A similar model which replaces age classes with ontogenetic stages is called a Lefkovitch matrix, whereby individuals can both remain in the same stage class or move on to the next one. At each time step, the population is represented by a vector with an element for each age class where each element indicates the number of individuals currently in that class. The Leslie matrix is a square matrix with the same number of rows and columns as the population vector has elements. The (i,j)th cell in the matrix indicates how many individuals will be in the age class i at the next time step for each individual in stage j. At each time step, the population vector is multiplied by the Leslie matrix to generate the population vector for the subsequent time step. To build a matrix, the following information must be known from the population: * , the count of individuals (n) of each age class x * , the fraction of individuals that survives from age class x to age class x+1, * , fecundity, the per capita average number of female offspring reaching born from mother of the age class x. More precisely, it can be viewed as the number of offspring produced at the next age class weighted by the probability of reaching the next age class. Therefore, From the observations that at time t+1 is simply the sum of all offspring born from the previous time step and that the organisms surviving to time t+1 are the organisms at time t surviving at probability , one gets . This implies the following matrix representation: where is the maximum age attainable in the population. This can be written as: or: where is the population vector at time t and is the Leslie matrix. The dominant eigenvalue of , denoted , gives the population's asymptotic growth rate (growth rate at the stable age distribution). The corresponding eigenvector provides the stable age distribution, the proportion of individuals of each age within the population, which remains constant at this point of asymptotic growth barring changes to vital rates. Once the stable age distribution has been reached, a population undergoes exponential growth at rate . The characteristic polynomial of the matrix is given by the Euler–Lotka equation. The Leslie model is very similar to a discrete-time Markov chain. The main differenceis that in a Markov model, one would have for each ,while the Leslie model may have these sums greater or less than 1. (Wikipedia).
