Abstract

The phenomenon of the noise-induced extinction in population systems is studied. To prevent such undesirable ecological shift, we propose a new control approach based on the synthesis of the reduced stochastic sensitivity of equilibrium regime. Key points of this approach are demonstrated for the conceptual Ricker-type population model combining the Allee effect, delay, and random disturbances. This bistable population model possesses coexisting attractors corresponding to persistence and extinction regimes. To stabilize the persistence regime, feedback regulators are constructed to minimize the stochastic sensitivity of the equilibria. Cases of complete and incomplete information are reviewed and discussed.
