Generationsintervall, or generation interval, is a concept used in demography, population genetics, and epidemiology to denote the characteristic time between the birth of an individual and the birth of its offspring. It can be viewed as the average age of parents at the birth of their children and, in population genetics, as the average time between successive generations in a reproductive population. The interval depends on the species’ reproductive schedule and survivorship patterns.
In demography, generation interval T is often defined as the average age of mothers at childbirth and
Generation interval determines how fast a population or a pathogen can change generation by generation. Shorter
