A Spatio-temporal Dynamic Analysis of a Predation-competition System with Allee Effect
The local population dynamics with Allee effect and its empirical research are one of the research hotspots in population ecology. Current studies show that the Allee effect caused by the low population density has complex impacts on the time dynamics and the spatial distribution of a single population or metapopulation. However
comprehensive understanding of how the Allee effect will affect the system dynamics in complex ecological relationships is not enough. An ecosystem containing predators with Allee effect and prey with competing relationship is established. And then
the effect of the Allee effect index and the population initial density on the population density and the spatial distribution of each species are analyzed by the ecosystem. The results show that the predators with Allee effect cause the system to produce damped oscillation
against the stability of predation-competition system; increasing the Allee effect threshold prompts the population density of predators to decrease
and the population density of preys to increase; the initial population size of predator has great impacts on the system
and if the initial value is large
the system finally reaches a stable state; however
if the initial value is small
the system is in chaos; the systems with Allee effect are more likely to generate an aggregated distribution pattern in space. These insights can provide necessary theoretical basis for species conservation.
