    Results of \textit{J. F. C. Kingman} [Quart. J. Math., Oxford II. Ser. 12, 283-284 (1961; Zbl 0101.253)], \textit{J. E. Cohen} [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 86, 345-350 (1979; Zbl 0415.60012)], \textit{S. Friedland} and \textit{S. Karlin} [Duke Math. J. 42, 459-490 (1975; Zbl 0373.15008)] on convexity, log convexity and ''min-max'' characterizations of the spectral radius of a nonnegative matrix are reviewed. Generalizations of some of the results to cone spectral radii are given and a problem of population biology concerning the uniqueness of the eigenvector corresponding to the spectral radius in a cone is solved.
