Summary
A mathematical model describing the dynamics of a population consisting of several species is studied. The interactions in the population are assumed to be age-specific. Using an evolution equation approach, sufficient conditions for well-posedness in L 1 of the dynamics and for existence as well as for stability of equilibrium solutions are given.
