What is pop models?

Pop models refer to the mathematical models used to study populations of organisms or entities. These models aim to understand the dynamics of growth, reproduction, and mortality in a population, as well as the interactions between organisms and their environments. There are several types of pop models, including exponential growth models, logistic growth models, age-structured models, and predator-prey models. These models are widely used in ecological and evolutionary research, epidemiology, and conservation biology, among other fields. Pop models are typically based on mathematical equations and rely on data from field observations and experiments for validation. They are essential tools for understanding the mechanisms underlying population dynamics and predicting the future population trends of organisms under different scenarios.
