Allee effects in a Ricker-type predator-prey system
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a discrete host-parasitoid system where the host population follows the classical Ricker functional form and is also subject to Allee effects. We determine basins of attraction of the local attractors of the single population model when the host intrinsic growth rate is not large. In this situation, existence and local stability of the interior steady states for the host-parasitoid interaction are completely analyzed. If the host's intrinsic growth rate is large, then the interaction may support multiple interior steady states. Linear stability of these steady states is provided.

How predator functional responses and Allee effects in prey affect the paradox of enrichment and population collapses.
In Rosenzweig-MacArthur models of predator-prey dynamics, Allee effects in prey usually destabilize interior equilibria and can suppress or enhance limit cycles typical of the paradox of enrichment. We re-evaluate these conclusions through a complete classification of a wide range of Allee effects in prey and predator's functional response shapes. We show that abrupt and deterministic system co...
متن کاملPredator-mediated allee effects in multi-prey systems.
Allee effects can have significant consequences for small populations and understanding the causal mechanisms for such effects is important for guiding conservation actions. One proposed mechanism is through predation, in which a type II functional response leads to increasing predation rates as prey numbers decline. However, models to support this mechanism have incorporated only a single decl...
متن کاملDynamics of a predator-prey system with prey subject to Allee effects
4 In this article, we propose a general predator-prey system with prey subject to Allee effects and disease with the following unique features: (i) Allee effects built in the reproduction process of prey where infected prey (I-class) has no contribution; (ii) Consuming infected prey would contribute less or negatively to the growth rate of predator (P-class) in comparison to the consumption of ...
متن کاملAsymmetrical Impact of Allee Effect on a Discrete-Time Predator-Prey System
A discrete-time predator-prey model is proposed with Leslie-type numerical response, and the asymmetrical influence of Allee effect on the proposed system is investigated. By mathematical analysis, locally stable conditions for the equilibrium points of the considered systems with or without Allee effect are obtained firstly. Furthermore, numerical simulation is used to verify the results and d...
متن کاملStability Analysis of a Lotka–volterra Type Predator–prey System Involving Allee Effects
We present a stability analysis of steady-state solutions of a continuous-time predator– prey population dynamics model subject to Allee effects on the prey population which occur at low population density. Numerical simulations show that the system subject to an Allee effect takes a much longer time to reach its stable steady-state solution. This result differs from that obtained for the discr...
