On the extinction of a colonizing species.

Summary

Stochastic models are used to analyze the colonization or extinction of a population growing on a limit source of food and it is shown that there exists a critical size of the population such that if the initial size ofThe population is above this level, the population is bound to colonize.

Keywords

Extinction (optical mineralogy), Population size, Population, Population density, Reciprocal
