Fisheries science

A decline in per-capita recruitment or growth rate as a stock falls to low abundance.

In fisheries science, depensation is a decline in per-capita recruitment or growth rate as a stock falls to low abundance. This meaning comes from Liermann (2001) in Fish and Fisheries.[1]

Unit
fish stock
Recovery means
fit stock-recruitment curves at low stock
Measured by
depensatory recruitment slope

Population ecology

The Allee effect: reduced individual fitness at low population density (mate-finding, cooperation failures).

In population ecology, the same pattern is studied as the Allee effect: reduced individual fitness at low population density (mate-finding, cooperation failures). This meaning comes from Courchamp (2008) in Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation.[2]

Unit
population
Recovery means
fit per-capita growth vs density
Measured by
Allee threshold density
