Density-dependent plasticity of female reproductive output mediates Allee effects in Drosophila melanogaster

Allee effects are positive relationships between components of individual fitness and the number or density of individuals in a population.

Allee effects are positive relationships between components of individual fitness and the number or density of individuals in a population. Negative density effects are well documented in Drosophila melanogaster across life stages, while Allee effects are rare and largely…
