Abstract
In this paper we discuss the asymptotic behavior of a logistic model with d istributed growth and mortality rates. In particular, we prove that the ent ire population becomes concentrated within the subpopulation with highest g rowth to mortality ratio, and converges to the equilibrium defined by this ratio. Finally, we present a numerical example illustrating the theoretical results.
