Delayed population models with Allee effects and exploitation by Eduardo Liz, Alfonso Ruiz-Herrera

“…Using a delay-differential equation modeling the evolution of a single-species population subject to constant effort harvesting, we show that the interplay between harvest strength and Allee effects leads not only to collapses due to overexploitation; large delays can interact with Allee effects to produce extinction at population densities that would survive for smaller time delays.In case of bistability, our estimations on the basins of attraction of the two coexisting attractors improve some recent results in this direction. …”
