The evidence for Allee effects
Population Ecology, 2009AbstractAllee effects are an important dynamic phenomenon believed to be manifested in several population processes, notably extinction and invasion. Though widely cited in these contexts, the evidence for their strength and prevalence has not been critically evaluated.

From Weak Allee Effect to No Allee Effect in Richards’ Growth Models
2015Population dynamics have been attracting interest since many years. Among the considered models, the Richards’ equations remain one of the most popular to describe biological growth processes. On the other hand, Allee effect is currently a major focus of ecological research, which occurs when positive density-dependence dominates at low densities.

Allee Effect and the Uncertainty of Population Recovery
Conservation Biology, 2014Abstract Recovery of depleted populations is fundamentally important for conservation biology and sustainable resource harvesting. At low abundance, population growth rate, a primary determinant of population recovery, is generally assumed to be relatively fast because competition is low (i.e., negative density dependence).

Bifurcations in a Cancer and Immune Model with Allee Effect
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2021Modeling the interplay between immune system components and cancer cells via immunotherapy is the purpose of this work. We present a simple mathematical model of interaction between tumor cells and the immune system’s effector cells. With rigorous mathematical analysis and numerical continuation, we study the generalized Hopf bifurcations (GH), known ...

Invasion dynamics of epidemic with the Allee effect
Biosystems, 2011Investigating the likely success of epidemic invasion is important in the epidemic management and control. In the present study, the invasion of epidemic is initially introduced to a predator-prey system, both species of which are considered to be subject to the Allee effect.

Allee Effects and the Evolution of Polymorphism in Cyclic Parthenogens [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2014 Cyclic parthenogens alternate asexual reproduction with periodic episodes of sexual reproduction. Sexually produced free-living forms are often their only way to survive unfavorable periods. When sexual reproduction requires the mating of two self-incompatible individuals, mating limitation may generate an Allee effect, which makes small populations ...

Hunting cooperation and Allee effects in predators
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2017Cooperation is a ubiquitous behavior in many biological systems and is well-known for promoting Allee effects. However, few studies have paid attention to mechanisms inducing Allee effects in predators. Here, we focus on hunting cooperation and use a classical predator-prey system for identifying the impact of this mechanism.

Spatial spread of epidemic with Allee effect
Physical Review E, 2023The spatial spread of an epidemic is investigated in the case of a bistable dynamics, where the effective transmission rate depends on the fraction of infected and the state of no epidemic is linearly stable. The front propagation phenomenon is investigated both numerically and theoretically, by an analysis in a four-dimensional phase plane.
