Abstract
Stability in populationsizeis illusory: populations left to themselves either grow beyond all bounds or die out. But if they do not die out theircompositionstabilizes. These problems are discussed in terms of general abstract, multitype branching processes. The life and descent of a typical individual is described.Keywords
