It is shown using several models that r and K selection may result from random environmental variation. Probabilities of extinction are derived for both colonizing and well-established species using stochastic models similar to the logistic model, and it is shown that the probability of extinction of a population can be reduced by increasing the birth rate or the carrying capacity or by decreasing the death rate or the effects of the environmental variation on population growth. It is probable that random environmental variation mainly facilitates r selection.

This article studies modeling of a population growth by logistic equation when the population carrying capacity K tends to infinity. Results are obtained using fractional calculus theories. A fractional derivative known as psi-Caputo plays a substantial role in the study. We proved existence and uniqueness of the solution to the problem using the psi-Caputo fractional derivative. The Chinese population, whose carrying capacity, K, tends to infinity, is used as evidence to prove that the proposed approach is appropriate and performs better than the usual logistic growth equation for a population with a large carrying capacity. A psi-Caputo logistic model with the kernel function x + 1 performed the best as it minimized the error rate to 3.20% with a fractional order of derivative α  = 1.6455.

Population growth model is a widely been used model to do an estimation and forecasting towards the population of peoples, animals, bac-teria and even in economics growth. Many studies have been carried out on population growth model concerning the factors of birth, death and carrying capacity in order to predict the number of population at certain area. From these studies there is only one study involved the constant value factor of migration as an input in the logistic model. Therefore contradicting with the above modified logistic model, in this study logistic model is modified by adding a migration factor as a function of population. This function takes into account the migration and the interaction between peoples that is limited to the carrying capacity of the environment. This model can be solved qualitatively using the analysis of equilibrium point and quantitatively using the separable variables method. This modified logistic model with migration factor has been applied in the population prediction of Purwanegara village in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Throughout the results, the modified logistic model with migration factor as a function of population gives a better result for population prediction of Purwanegara village in Central Java Province, Indonesia compared with logistic model.

The analysis of the medical and demographic indicators of the Orenburg Region from 2015 to 2019 showed that over this time period, there was a gradual process of population decline. The dynamics of the birth and death rates of the population was characterized by a stable decline. Over a five-year period, the birth rate decreased by 30.78 %, and the death rate by 8.8 %. The natural population growth in 2015 was positive, and since 2016, there has been a negative population growth, i.e. the number of citizens who died annually exceeded the number of births. The region has seen slight changes in the ratio of urban and rural residents. Life expectancy has increased for both sexes from 69.63 years in 2015 to 72.04 years in 2019. The growth of this indicator for men was 4.31 %, and for women — 2.43 %. Studies of the sex composition of the population of the Orenburg Region over the past five years have demonstrated that there have been minor changes in the ratio of the male and female population in the region under study. So, in 2015 and 2016, there were 1149 women per 1000 men; in 2017–1148, in 2018–1147, in 2019–1146. Over the studied period, the number of marriages registered in the Orenburg Region decreased from a maximum of 15418 in 2015 to a minimum of 12304 in 2019, which was 20.2 %. The number of divorces did not decrease so rapidly, from 8,717 maximum in 2015 to 8,424 minimum in 2019, which was 3.36 %. The adoption of managerial decisions aimed at improving the standard of living and health of the population, as well as the environmental situation at the level of legislative and executive authorities will contribute to an increase in life expectancy, reduction in the death rate, and an increase in the birth rate of the population.

The study investigates the effect of imposing an n-child policy by forecastingthe population of the Philippines using a discrete age-structured compartmental model. Based on the results of the projection, a policy promoting a maximumof two children per couple leads to a transient stabilization (i.e., the populationeventually declines after attaining zero-growth rate). A three-child policy may alsolead to stabilization yet may converge beyond the calculated Verhulstian carryingcapacity of approximately 200M. However, overshooting the carrying capacity canbe resolved by increasing the available resources that can support the escalatingpopulation size. A child policy dictating a maximum of four or more children percouple results to a similar population growth as the status quo due to the inherentdeclining birth rate. With the declining birth rate trend in the Philippines,population stabilization is realizable even without implementing a child policy butonly after 100 years. Furthermore, this study estimated the future age structure andthe resultant GDP per capita income associated with each child policy.Keywords: Demography, population projection, child policy, zero growth, economy,logistic, carrying capacity, age-structured model, Philippines

AbstractThe paper examines a matrix equation given by Ziebur [6] for the growth of a population in which the birth-rate and death-rate are age-dependent. For convenience the population was sub-divided into four age groups, with the same birth-rate and death-rate for individuals in a particular group, and the matrix equation relates the numbers in each sub-division in consecutive years. This avoids delay terms and makes it easier to modify the growth equation but it is shown that the form suggested by Ziebur for the transition matrix leads to some difficulties.

Investigation of populations of Daphnia rosea, D. retrocurva, and Diaphanosoma leuchtenbergianum in Sunfish Lake, southern Ontario, during 1969 indicated that, in the absence of predation, food supply was the major factor controlling population size and influencing population parameters. Generally with each species, a population peak was preceded by a rise in fecundity, an increase in birth rate, and a fall in death rate. As the carrying capacity of the environment in terms of food was surpassed the population numbers declined, fecundity dropped off, and the death rate rose. A strong negative correlation between fecundity and death rate was observed.


We studied the medical and demographic indicators in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) for the last 20 years (1998–2018). A decrease in the population by 4,7 % (р<0,01) was revealed in the Russian Federation in the period 1998–2008, 3,4 % decrease, followed by its growth by 2,8 % (р<0,01); a decrease in the number of rural population in the republic and an increase in the urban population were observed. By the beginning of 2019, in comparison with the 2003 data, an increase in the population by 1.9% (р<0,01), a decrease in the number of able-bodied people in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) at the beginning of 2019, as compared to 1998, were revealed, by 8,2 %, in the Russian Federation – by 4,7 % (р<0,01). In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) the birth rate remains high, the mortality rate is relatively low, and the natural population growth is maintained.
