Human impacts are dramatically altering our natural ecosystems but the exact repercussions
on ecological sustainability and function remain unclear. As a result, food web theory has …

Despite the amount of research on the consequences of global warming on ecological
systems, most studies examine the impact of increases in average temperature. However …

This paper concerns the study of the Allee effect on the dynamical behavior of a new class of
generalized logistic maps. The fundamentals of the dynamics of this 4-parameter family of …

We analyze the effects of a strategy of constant effort harvesting in the global dynamics of a
one-dimensional discrete population model that includes density-independent survivorship …

The timing of harvesting is a key instrument in managing and exploiting biological
populations and renewable resources. Yet, there is little theory on harvest timing, and even …

Population control in some form of harvesting might be expected to reduce population size,
but quite the opposite can happen due to the hydra effect. This phenomenon describes an …

We study the impact of the Allee effect and prey refuge on the stability of a discrete time
predator–prey system. We focus on the stability behavior of the system with the Allee effect …

Allee effects make populations more vulnerable to extinction, especially under severe
harvesting or predation. Using a delay-differential equation modeling the evolution of a …

Interactions in ecological communities are inherently nonlinear and can lead to complex
population dynamics including irregular fluctuations induced by chaos. Chaotic population …
