Fear Effects

In this study, we consider a diffusive predator–prey model with multiple Allee effects induced by fear factors. We investigate the existence, boundedness and permanence of the solution of the system. We also discuss the existence and non-existence of non-constant solutions. We derive sufficient conditions for spatially homogeneous (non-homogenous) Hopf bifurcation and steady state bifurcation. Theoretical and numerical simulations show that strong Allee effect and fear effect have great effect on the dynamics of system.

We derive and study a Darwinian dynamic model based on a low-dimensional discrete- time population model focused on two features: density-dependent fertility and a trade-off between inherent (density free) fertility and post-reproduction survival. Both features are assumed to be dependent on a phenotypic trait subject to natural selection. The model tracks the dynamics of the population coupled with that of the population mean trait. We study the stability properties of equilibria by means of bifurcation theory. Whether post-reproduction survival at equilibrium is low or high is shown, in this model, to depend significantly on the nature of the trait dependence of the density effects. An Allee effect can also play a significant role.

Long Term Behavior

This article is concerned with a stochastic multipatch model in which each local population is subject to a strong Allee effect. The model is obtained by using the framework of interacting particle systems to extend a stochastic two-patch model that was recently introduced by Kang and the author. The main objective is to understand the effect of the geometry of the network of interactions, which represents potential migrations between patches, on the long-term behavior of the metapopulation. In the limit as the number of patches tends to ∞, there is a critical value for the Allee threshold below which the metapopulation expands and above which the metapopulation goes extinct. Spatial simulations on large regular graphs suggest that this critical value strongly depends on the initial distribution when the degree of the network is large, whereas the critical value does not depend on the initial distribution when the degree is small. Looking at the system starting with a single occupied patch on the complete graph and on the ring, we prove analytical results that support this conjecture. From an ecological perspective, these results indicate that, upon arrival of an alien species subject to a strong Allee effect to a new area, though dispersal is necessary for its expansion, fast long-range dispersal drives the population toward extinction.

Theoretical Results

We proposed and analyzed a predator–prey model with both the additive Allee effect and the fear effect in the prey. Firstly, we studied the existence and local stability of equilibria. Some sufficient conditions on the global stability of the positive equilibrium were established by applying the Dulac theorem. Those results indicate that some bifurcations occur. We then confirmed the occurrence of saddle-node bifurcation, transcritical bifurcation, and Hopf bifurcation. Those theoretical results were demonstrated with numerical simulations. In the bifurcation analysis, we only considered the effect of the strong Allee effect. Finally, we found that the stronger the fear effect, the smaller the density of predator species. However, the fear effect has no influence on the final density of the prey.
