In this article various mathematical models are considered that describe the dynamics of isolated populations. It is assumed that the death process of individuals in populations is of continuous nature and appearance of individuals of new generations is realized at some fixed time moments. It is shown that the size of an isolated population with nonoverlapping generations varies monotonically if the fertility does not depend on the condition of the population in the previous instants. Moreover, there is a unique global steady level on which the size of the population is stabilized asymptotically. The influence of winter conditions on the population dynamics is also studied. It is shown that, in the general case, the parameter corresponding to the survival of individuals during a winter phase enters nonlinearly into the model. In addition, a continuous-discrete model of competition between two species is considered. Dynamics of the sizes of two competitive species with nonoverlapping generations has no oscillations provided that the fertility in both populations is constant. Within the framework of the model, the asymptotic stabilization at some level is realized. In general, there are several steady levels. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0918.00008].
