USING AGGREGATION METHODS TO ASSESS TOXICANT EFFECTS ON POPULATION DYNAMICS IN SPATIAL SYSTEMS.

The article presents a study that assesses the ecotoxicology of population dynamics in spatial systems using aggregation method. It describes the method of the study that uses aggregation approach to build and ecotoxicological population, coupled with Leslie matrix model. It outlines the result which features endpoints of population dynamics such as asymptotic population growth rate, stable age structure and reproductive values.
