title: Stability of a delay equation arising from a juvenile-adult model.
abstract: We consider a delay equation that has been formulated from a juvenile-adult population model. We give respective conditions on the vital rates to ensure local stability of the positive equilibrium and global stability of the trivial equilibrium. We also show that under certain conditions the equation undergoes a Hopf bifurcation. We then study global asymptotic stability and present bifurcation diagrams for two special cases of the model.
