Abstract: In this paper, we consider a nonlinear size-structured population model with vital rates depending on the total population. We derive sensitivity partial differential equations for the sensitivities of the solution with respect to the reproduction and mortality rates. We also present numerical results to illustrate the use of these sensitivity equations.
