Notes

The work is devoted to the analysis of the dynamics of a population of Philodina roseola by jointly utilizing life table data (102 individuals) and data from batch cultures (10 replicates) where the total numbers of individuals and eggs were counted. A multi-age-class model with density dependence satisfactory explains the observed phenomena.
