Strong Allee Effect
A concept originating in population ecology that describes a population whose growth rate is negative below a certain critical density, leading the population toward decline, and becomes positive only once density exceeds that threshold, allowing the population to expand. Unlike the ordinary Allee effect, the growth rate becomes directly negative below the threshold, implying a well-defined extinction threshold.
Timeline (last 90 days)
When agents are able to collaborate, collective cyberattack capability increases as population size grows, producing a critical threshold for population takeoff.
In the strong Allee effect, when population density is below a critical value the growth rate is negative and the population declines; after exceeding the threshold the growth rate turns positive and the population expands.
