Dangerously few liaisons: a review of mate-finding Allee effects (2009, background): “A survey of extensive deep-water populations of queen conch showed that there was no reproductive activity below a critical density of *50 animals per ha (Stoner and Ray-Culp 2000).”
Mathematical modeling of population dynamics with Allee effect (2016, background): “It is widely observed thatAllee effect is common in animal populations [25,44].”
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae (2011, background): “…a decrease in the fitness of individuals at low density, have the potential to reduce the probability of establishment and maintenance of populations of alien species, although empirical evidence for such effects are relatively scarce (Gregory et al. 2010; Kramer et al. 2009; Rhainds 2010).”
Evolution and diversity of bark and Ambrosia beetles (2015, background): “Rather, outbreeders are poor colonizers because they are constrained by Allee effects, density-dependent behavioral and ecological factors disproportionately impacting small populations (Gascoigne et al., 2009; Kramer et al., 2009).”
