-|Pre-meeting notes=This lecture will begin from the classical roots of life tables and age structured populations, develop the general principle of stable age distribution, and close with a brief discussion of population momentum when parameters shift (as due to the implementation or relaxation of the one-child rule in China). There will brief mention of density dependence of birth rates, a concept of primary relevance for non-human population.
+|Description=Ellner and Rees is overview of age-structured models
+|Post-meeting notes=The interrelated topics of population growth and resource depletion are central to sustainability, and ideal topics for SFI
+Potential for greater integration of conceptual foundations and applications is high; these are prototypical complex adaptive systems, and problems of the Commons are at the core as regards resource use, disease management, etc.
+Would like to see even more-post-meeting integration of these topics.
+I may work more on migration.
+|Reference material notes=Ellner and Rees is overview of age-structured models
+Espenshade papers introduce momentum
+Keyfitz and Keyfitz introduce continuous-time models
