Abstract
Both the study of interacting species without age structure and single species with age structure have had a long history in theoretical ecology, beginning with studies in the “golden age” of ecology (Scudo and Ziegler, 1978) by Lotka and Volterra. Only much more recently have there been studies on the dynamics of interacting, age structured models. Such models can quickly get extraordinarily complex, so in this review I will concentrate on the simplest models.
