Seasonal synchronization and unpredictability in epidemic models with waning immunity and healthcare thresholds Veronika Eclerová, Deeptajyoti Sen, Lenka Přibylová Scientific Reports, 2025 This paper explores a model integrating healthcare capacity thresholds and seasonal effects to investigate the synchronization of epidemic cycles with seasonal transmission rates, using parameters reflective of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through bifurcation analysis in the epi-seasonal domain, we identify regions of significant seasonal synchronization related to transmission rate fluctuations, waning immunity, and healthcare capacity thresholds. The model highlights four sources of unpredictability: chaotic regimes, quasiperiodicity, proximity to SNIC or transcritical bifurcations, and bistability. Our findings reveal that chaotic regimes are more predictable than quasiperiodic regimes in epidemiological terms. Synchronizing outbreaks with seasonal cycles, even in chaotic regimes, predominantly results in significant winter outbreaks. Conversely, quasiperiodicity allows outbreaks to occur at any time of the year. Near eradication unpredictability aligns with historical pertussis data, underscoring the model’s relevance to real-world epidemics and vaccine schedules. Additionally, we identify a bistability region with potential for abrupt shifts in disease prevalence, triggered by superspreading events or migration.
Bifurcation analysis of the predator–prey model with the Allee effect in the predator Deeptajyoti Sen, Saktipada Ghorai, Malay Banerjee, Andrew Morozov Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2022 The use of predator–prey models in theoretical ecology has a long history, and the model equations have largely evolved since the original Lotka–Volterra system towards more realistic descriptions of the processes of predation, reproduction and mortality. One important aspect is the recognition of the fact that the growth of a population can be subject to an Allee effect, where the per capita growth rate increases with the population density. Including an Allee effect has been shown to fundamentally change predator–prey dynamics and strongly impact species persistence, but previous studies mostly focused on scenarios of an Allee effect in the prey population. Here we explore a predator–prey model with an ecologically important case of the Allee effect in the predator population where it occurs in the numerical response of predator without affecting its functional response. Biologically, this can result from various scenarios such as a lack of mating partners, sperm limitation and cooperative breeding mechanisms, among others. Unlike previous studies, we consider here a generic mathematical formulation of the Allee effect without specifying a concrete parameterisation of the functional form, and analyse the possible local bifurcations in the system. Further, we explore the global bifurcation structure of the model and its possible dynamical regimes for three different concrete parameterisations of the Allee effect. The model possesses a complex bifurcation structure: there can be multiple coexistence states including two stable limit cycles. Inclusion of the Allee effect in the predator generally has a destabilising effect on the coexistence equilibrium. We also show that regardless of the parametrisation of the Allee effect, enrichment of the environment will eventually result in extinction of the predator population.
Enhancement of extreme events through the Allee effect and its mitigation through noise in a three species system Deeptajyoti Sen, Sudeshna Sinha Scientific Reports, 2021 We consider the dynamics of a three-species system incorporating the Allee Effect, focussing on its influence on the emergence of extreme events in the system. First we find that under Allee effect the regular periodic dynamics changes to chaotic. Further, we find that the system exhibits unbounded growth in the vegetation population after a critical value of the Allee parameter. The most significant finding is the observation of a critical Allee parameter beyond which the probability of obtaining extreme events becomes non-zero for all three population densities. Though the emergence of extreme events in the predator population is not affected much by the Allee effect, the prey population shows a sharp increase in the probability of obtaining extreme events after a threshold value of the Allee parameter, and the vegetation population also yields extreme events for sufficiently strong Allee effect. Lastly we consider the influence of additive noise on extreme events. First, we find that noise tames the unbounded vegetation growth induced by Allee effect. More interestingly, we demonstrate that stochasticity drastically diminishes the probability of extreme events in all three populations. In fact for sufficiently high noise, we do not observe any more extreme events in the system. This suggests that noise can mitigate extreme events, and has potentially important bearing on the observability of extreme events in naturally occurring systems.
Rich Bifurcation Structure of Prey-Predator Model Induced by the Allee Effect in the Growth of Generalist Predator Deeptajyoti Sen, Sergei Petrovskii, S. Ghorai, Malay Banerjee International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2020 Prey–predator models are building blocks for many food-chain and food-web models in theoretical population biology. These models can be divided into two groups depending on the nature of predators, namely, specialist predator and generalist predator. Generalist predators can survive in the absence of prey but specialist predators go to extinction. Prey–predator models with specialist predator and Allee effect in prey growth have been investigated by several researchers and various types of interesting dynamics have been reported. In this paper, we consider a prey–predator model with generalist predator subject to Allee effect in predator’s growth rate. In general, a prey–predator system with saturating functional response can be destabilized due to the increase of the carrying capacity of prey which is known as paradox of enrichment. In our model with Allee effect in predator growth, we have shown that increase in carrying capacity of prey helps the populations to survive in a coexistence steady state. The considered model is capable of producing bistable dynamics for a reasonable range of parameter values. The complete dynamics of the system are quite rich and all possible local and global bifurcations are studied to understand the dynamics of the model. Analytical results are verified with numerical examples and successive bifurcations are identified with the help of bifurcation diagrams.
