Abstract
In the previous sections, the models that we considered described a homogeneous population and could be considered as toy models. A first generalization consists in considering multitype population dynamics. The demographic rates of a subpopulation depend on its own type. The ecological parameters are functions of the different types of the individuals competiting with each other. Indeed, we assume that the type has an influence on the reproduction or survival abilities, but also on the access to resources. Some subpopulations can be more adapted than others to the environment.
