POPULATION DYNAMICS FOR TWO-MALE ONE-FEMALE SPECIES
A lattice gas model is applied to a mating system composed of one female and two males. Both males have different fertilities. Basic differential equations exhibit a bifurcation between extinction and Allee-effect phase. From biological meanings, we conjecture not only a Lyapunov function but also the densities at equilibrium. We discuss the different roles between high- and low-reproductive males for species conservation.
