Sensitivity analysis for a structured juvenileadult model
In this paper, we consider a model which describes the dynamics of an amphibian population where individuals are divided into juveniles and adults. We derive sensitivity partial differential equations for the sensitivities of the solution with respect to the reproduction and mortality rates for adults. We also present numerical results to show the application of these equations to an amphibian population of green tree frogs (Hyla cinerea).
