We prove a criterion for the global stability of the positive equilibrium in discrete-time single-species population models of the form $x_{n+1}=x_nF(x_n)$. This allows us to demonstrate analytically (and easily) the conjecture that local stability implies global stability in some well-known models, including the Ricker difference equation and a combination of the models by Hassel and Maynard Smith. Our approach combines the use of linear fractional functions (Mobius transformations) and the Schwarzian derivative.
