Allee effect is a phenomenon observed in population ecology where a population's per capita growth rate declines when the population becomes very small. This can be due to a variety of factors, all of which are related to the difficulties small populations face in maintaining a positive growth rate.
One common reason for the Allee effect is the inability to find mates. In species with sexual
Another factor is the breakdown of social behaviors that benefit group living. For some species, cooperative
Inbreeding depression can also contribute to the Allee effect. Small, isolated populations are more likely to
The Allee effect has significant implications for conservation biology. Populations experiencing strong Allee effects are at
