Can a Mate-Finding Allee Effect Be Elicited to Help Eradicate Invasive Mammals?
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The Allee effect is an important ecological process that has implications for extinction of endangered species and for assisting the management of invasive species. Few instances of Allee effects have been quantified in nature due to the adaptive resilience of species and the difficulty in empirically linking ecological mechanisms to population change. While Allee effects could theoretically assist with invasive species eradications, the mechanism by which a management intervention could achieve both component and demographic Allee effects has not been tested. We developed an individual-based simulation model to explore whether the intentional disruption of animal behaviour could elicit a mate-finding Allee effect to facilitate the eradication of an invasive mammal. We used stoats (
