Abstract

A spatio-temporal model of the dynamics of a population is presented. It is a linear time discrete type model structured by the age and the time spent in one of the several locations or patches it lives in. Migration takes place between the several patches, birth is allowed in each patch, and the transition rates between areas are a function of age and the time spent in a given area.
