The genetic Allee effect: a unified framework for the genetics and demography of small populations
Ecosphere, 2016 The Allee effect is a theoretical model predicting low growth rates and the possible extinction of small populations. Historically, studies of the Allee effect have focused on demography.

An effective Allee effect may induce the survival of low-density predator
Results in Physics, 2023 Allee effect, as one of the research hotspots in ecology and conservation biology, extremely easily affects the distribution of population in space, especially for the low-density population. In the ecosystem, the spatial distribution of predator is more

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2013 SummaryAllee effects occur when the aggregation of individuals result in mutually beneficial intraspecific interactions whereby individual fitness, or per capita growth rate, increases with the number of individuals. Allee effects are common in social species due to their cooperative behaviours, such as breeding, feeding or defence.

Genetic Allee effects and their interaction with ecological Allee effects [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2016 Summary It is now widely accepted that genetic processes such as inbreeding depression and loss of genetic variation can increase the extinction risk of small populations.

Spawner weight and ocean temperature drive Allee effect dynamics in Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua: inherent and emergent density regulation [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2023 Stocks of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, show diverse recovery responses when fishing pressure is relieved. The expected outcome of reduced fishing pressure is that the population regains its size.

Dynamical behaviour of discrete logistic equation with Allee effect in an uncertain environment
Results in Control and Optimization, 2023 The Allee effect refers to a natural occurrence where the average individual fitness of a population or species is correlated with population size or density. A demographic Allee effect having a threshold population size constitutes a strong Allee effect.

Allee Effects May Slow the Spread of Parasites in a Coastal Marine Ecosystem [PDF]
, 2011 Allee effects are thought to mediate the dynamics of population colonization, particularly for invasive species. However, Allee effects acting on parasites have rarely been considered in the analogous process of infectious disease establishment and ...

Review: Allee effects in social species [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 Abstract Allee effects have important implications for many aspects of basic and applied ecology. The benefits of aggregation of conspecific individuals are central to Allee effects, which have led to the widely held assumption that social species are more prone to Allee effects. Robust evidence for this assumption, however, remains rare. Furthermore,

Allee Effect from Parasite Spill-Back [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2013 The exchange of native pathogens between wild and domesticated animals can lead to novel disease threats to wildlife. However, the dynamics of wild host-parasite systems exposed to a reservoir of domesticated hosts are not well understood. A simple mathematical model reveals that the spill-back of native parasites from domestic to wild hosts may cause ...

Estimating Allee dynamics before they can be observed: polar bears as a case study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Allee effects are an important component in the population dynamics of numerous species. Accounting for these Allee effects in population viability analyses generally requires estimates of low-density population growth rates, but such data are ...
