Abstract
This paper considers several models for biological processes in which animate individuals live and die as members of groups which can split to form smaller groups. Resulting distributions of individuals over groups are compared and contrasted. In particular, two qualitatively different types of distributions are identified. It is clear that distinguishing between models giving rise to the same distribution types is difficult. Implications for more complex models are discussed and avenues for further research are outlined.
