“…In [9] the authors conjectured that cycles in a population governed by a scalar Beverton-Holt nonlinear difference equation with periodic carrying capacity are attenuant for all periods. This conjecture was confirmed in many papers including [12,13,14,24,25,26].…”

A general discrete juvenile-adult population model with time-dependent birth rate and nonlinear survivorship rates is studied. When breeding is continuous, it is shown that the model has a unique globally asymptotically stable positive equilibrium provided the net reproductive number is larger than one. If it is smaller than one, then the extinction equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable. When breeding is seasonal, it is shown that there exists a unique globally asymptotically stable periodic solution provided the net reproductive number is larger than one. When this value is less than one, the population goes to extinction. Conditions on the birth rate where the population with seasonal breeding survives while the population with continuous breeding becomes extinct are provided.

“…Using these models, we study the effects of almost periodic forcing of the carrying capacity, the demographic characteristic and survival rates of species on the long-term behavior of discretely reproducing populations. Others have studied the effects of periodic forcing of the carrying capacity, the demographic characteristic and survival rates of species on population dynamics [8,9,10], [12,13,14,15,16], [20,21,22,23,24], [28,29,30,31], and [34,35,36,37]. Typically, such periodically forced models support attracting cycles that are either enhance via resonance or diminished via attenuance.…”

“…Despite the fact that all natural populations suffer temporal environmental fluctuations on some scale, experimental and theoretical studies of population responses to external fluctuations remain relatively rare [8,9,10], [12,13,14,15,16,17], [20,21,22,23,24], [28,29,30], [32], and [35,36,36,38,39,40,41]. To study the effects of fluctuating environments on population dynamics, one can deliberately fluctuate environmental parameters in controlled laboratory experiments.…”

Abstract. We establish the basic theory of almost periodic sequences on Z + . Dichotomy techniques are then utilized to find sufficient conditions for the existence of a globally attracting almost periodic solution of a semilinear system of difference equations. These existence results are, subsequently, applied to discretely reproducing populations with and without overlapping generations. Furthermore, we access evidence for attenuance and resonance in almost periodically forced population models.

In the Beverton Holt difference equation of population biology with intrinsic growth parameter above its critical value, any initial non-zero population will approach an asymptotically stable fixed point, the carrying capacity of the environment. When this carrying capacity is allowed to vary periodically it is known that there is a globally asymptotically stable periodic solution and the average of the state variable along this solution is strictly less than the average of the carrying capacities, i.e. the varying environment has a deleterious effect on the state average. In this work we consider the case of a randomly varying environment and show that there is a unique invariant density to which all other density distributions on the state variable converge. Further, for every initial non-zero state variable and almost all random sequences of carrying capacities, the averages of the state variable along an orbit and the carrying capacities exist and the former is strictly less than the latter.
