Nicholson's blowflies differential equations revisited: Main results and open problems

This review covers permanence, oscillation, local and global stability of solutions for Nicholson’s blowflies differential equation. Some generalizations, including the most recent results for equations with a distributed delay and models with periodic coefficients, are considered.
