An innovative multistage, physiologically structured, population model to understand the European grapevine moth dynamics

We present a multistage, physiologically structured, population model for studying the dynamics of one of the most important grapevine insect pests. Growth of the population at each stage is modeled considering the climatic variations and the grape variety. A result of existence and uniqueness of solutions is presented for this original hyperbolic system as well as simulations of experimental field data.
