Kernels

During my paper reading, I keep coming across formulas that involve a ‘kernel’, which seems to be some type of function generated from another function. I hadn’t encountered the term kernel until I started reading these papers, so I don’t really know what it is or even what area of math it is from. Here’s a discussion on kernels from wikipedia, which is only marginally understandable by me. I still have no idea how a kernel relates to animal aggregate models. An example would help.
