Yes. The single population may have age or stage structure, or it may be a scalar model (such as the logistic model). It may have density dependence, or you may model simple exponential growth. It may have demographic and/or environmental stochasticity, or it may be a deterministic model. The minimum model in RAMAS must have a growth rate (R) and an initial abundance (N0).
