Abstract

This article concentrates on modeling the evolution of a population in a changing environment. We raise the optimization problem, which reflects the mechanisms of regulation of the speed of evolution that provide an adequate population response in correspondence with the direction and rate of environmental change. The numerical experiment results show plausible age–specific fertility dependences on the rate of environmental changes, as well as describing and explaining a number of evolutionary effects.
