Dangerously few liaisons: a review of mate-finding Allee effects (2009, background): “This is not the place to enter a discussion of Allee effects and metapopulation dynamics (see reviews in Amarasekare 1998 and Courchamp et al. 2008), but it is interesting to note the important role that population isolation often plays when demographic Allee effects are detected in populations…”
The Ecological Niche: History and Recent Controversies (2015, background): “This effect can be explained by diffi culties in fi nding breeding partners, or by the need for a group to reach a critical mass to be able to exploit a resource or deal with predation (Courchamp et al. 2008 : chap.”
Self-organised spatial patterns and chaos in a ratio-dependent predator–prey system (2011, background): “The Allee effect is proved to be a very common property of the population dynamics (Courchamp et al. 2008); therefore, understanding its implications is important.”
The role of Allee effects in gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.), invasions (2009, background): “Not all component Allee effects result in a demographic Allee effect if, for example, the advantages of being in a low-density population (e.g., reduced intraspecific competition) sufficiently compensate for the reduction in fitness (Stephens et al. 1999; Courchamp et al. 2008).”
Reproductive resilience: a paradigm shift in understanding spawner-recruit systems in exploited marine fish (2017, neutral): “2015), loss of population connectivity or decreased fertilization (Courchamp et al. 2008).”
Dynamics and pattern formation in a diffusive predator–prey system with strong Allee effect in prey (2011, neutral): “In recent years, Allee effect in the growth of a population has been studied extensively [9].”
Extreme increases in natural mortality prevent recovery of collapsed fish populations in a Northwest Atlantic ecosystem (2015, background): “Both theory and empirical evidence indicate that predation can be a source of Allee effects on survival (Gascoigne & Lipcius 2004, Courchamp et al. 2008).”
Spatiotemporal complexity of biological invasion in a space- and time-discrete predator–prey system with the strong Allee effect (2012, background): “We assume that the alien species is affected by the strong Allee effect, which is known to be typical in ecological populations (Dennis, 1989; Courchamp et al., 1999, 2008) and was proved to be especially important in biological invasions (Taylor and Hastings, 2005).”
Correlates of recovery for Canadian Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) (2011, background): “…a consequence of factors such as a truncated age or size distribution or changes in the abundance of interacting species to which an increasingly depleted population becomes increasingly vulnerable (both of which might be considered forms of an emergent Allee effect sensu Courchamp et al. 2008).”
