Simulated population dynamics of a single brood. (a) \(c=250\) and \({N}_{0}=100\). (b) \(c=350\) and \({N}_{0}=100\). (c) \(c=250\) and \({N}_{0}=50\). (d) \(c=350\) and \({N}_{0}=50\) (\(F=3, K=400\)). Being the only case where the initial population size is below the unstable equilibrium, extinction occurs only in the case of \(c=350\) and \({N}_{0}=50\), whereas stable equilibria are reached after \(t=187\) in the other three cases.
