Abstract
A model is presented for a bounded growth population subjected to random-sized emigrations that occur due to population pressure.The deterministic growth component examined in detail is defined by a Prendiville process. Results are obtained for the times between emigration events and for the population increase between emigrations. Some information is obtained about the mean time to extinction and also for the mean population level when the emigration-size distribution is negative exponential.Keywords
