Abstract. In this paper we propose a general framework for discrete time one-dimensional Markov population models which is based on two fundamental premises in population dynamics. We show that this framework incorporates both earlier population models, like the Ricker and Hassell models, and experimental observations concerning the structure of density dependence. The two fundamental premises of population dynamics are sufficient to guarantee that the model will exhibit chaotic behaviour for high values of the natural growth and the density-dependent feedback, and this observation is independent of the particular structure of the model. We also study these models when the environment of the population varies stochastically and address the question under what conditions we can find an invariant probability distribution for the population under consideration. The sufficient conditions for this stochastic stability that we derive are of some interest, since studying certain statistical characteristics of these stochastic population processes may only be possible if the process converges to such an invariant distribution.
