Abstract
Explicit consideration of size distributions within animal population cohorts can be important, because distributions in size can result in qualitatively complex phenomena not anticipated from the usual “averaging” population models. For example, bimodal size distributions have been observed to develop in fish cohorts. A partial‐differential‐equation model is used to corroborate the hypothesis that such bimodality can be generated when available prey is a function of time and of size of the fish in the cohort.
