ABSTRACT
Using a mathematical model of the number dynamics in a population with age and sex structure, the relationships were studied between the number of newborns and that of mature females and males. In addition, we studied transitions between different modes of population dynamics which were dependent on changes in not only the population parameters, such as reproduction intensity, survival, and self-regulation, but also in mating pair formation. Population dynamics was found to manifest multistability; i.e., the alternative dynamics modes were observed at the same values of the population parameters but under different initial conditions.
