Stability and persistence in ODE modelsfor populations with many stages

A model of ordinary differential equations is formulated for populationswhich are structured by many stages. The model is motivated by tickswhich are vectors of infectious diseases, but is general enough to apply to many other species.Our analysis identifies a basic reproduction numberthat acts as a...
