• Dangerously few liaisons: a review of mate-finding Allee effects (2009, background): “This kind of Allee effect is more likely to occur in monogamous than polygynous populations (Engen et al. 2003; Bessa-Gomes et al. 2004), and has been modelled in marmots ( Stephens et al. 2002 ) and measured in small plant populations (Soldaat et al. 1997), although in neither case were individual ”
• The Allee effect, stochastic dynamics and the eradication of alien species (2003, background): “While most instances of Allee effects have been described in low-density populations, these effects may also influence a wide range of densities ( Stephens et al. 2002 ).”
• Predicting the ecological consequences of environmental change: a review of the methods* (2006, methodology): “ Stephens et al. (2002a) modelled alpine marmots”
• Tests of Theory for Diel Variation in Salmonid Feeding Activity and Habitat Use (2005, background): “(Other examples include Huse and Giske 1998, Railsback and Harvey 2002, and Stephens et al. 2002.)”
• The evidence for Allee effects (2009, background): “Again, the difficulty of sampling low-density populations is a factor that limits the detection of Allee effects, even those that are strong (Stephens et al. 2002).”
• Managing threatened species: the ecological toolbox, evolutionary theory and declining-population paradigm (2004, methodology): “This highlights the wider issue of the degree to which density-dependent processes are adequately represented in demographic models used for conservation management (Stephens et al. 2002).”
