Technical report: a stage-based population of wild turkey based on Leslie Model / Mohammad Zulkhairol Shamsuddin

In this study. Leslie Model is a well-known and helpful method for population projection based on fecundity rates and age specific survival. The first part of this venture will portray the theorems, properties, application, and improvement of the Leslie Model demonstrated in detail. ln the second part, particular Leslie models are used for wild turkeys in Iowa. The Leslie model demonstrate has turned out 10 be famous due to its simple comprehension by scholars and in light of the fact that numerous theoretical properties can be easily studied using matrix algebra. In the case for Iowa wild turkey population, a straightforward, linear, deterministic model based on the Leslie model is used. It is easy to understand and analyze since the model is easy. In any case, its simplicity additionally implies that it is a long way f om natural reality. There are excessively few parameters to satisfactorily depict the complexity nature of a genuine turkey population. However, it is a decent model on which to construct more complex and realistic models which may permit stochasticity and thickness reliance of survival and fecundity rates.
