Allee effects, strongly related to the extinction vulnerability of populations and gradually
becoming acknowledged by both theoretically oriented and applied ecologists, have already …

▪ Abstract Individual-based models (IBMs) allow the explicit inclusion of individual variation
in greater detail than do classical differential-equation and difference-equation models …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Understanding the dynamics of small populations is obviously important for declining or rare
species but is also particularly important for invading species. The Allee effect, where fitness …

During the establishment phase of a biological invasion, population dynamics are strongly
influenced by Allee effects and stochastic dynamics, both of which may lead to extinction of …

In this chapter we have presented mathematical modeling approaches to biological pattern
formation. While reaction-diffusion models are appropriate to describe the spatio-temporal …

We critically review and classify models of single-species population dynamics subject to the
demographic Allee effect with emphasis on non-spatial, deterministic approach. Inclusion of …

In this paper, we review mate-finding Allee effects from ecological and evolutionary points of
view. We define 'mate-finding'as mate searching in mobile animals, and also as the meeting …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 615–624 Abstract Biological invasions are a global and
increasing threat to the function and diversity of ecosystems. Allee effects (positive density …

Species usually have to use indirect cues when assessing habitat quality. This means that it
is possible for humans to alter habitats in a way that causes a discrepancy between the cues …
