Impact of continuous and dread risk event on cumulative population size.

Abstract

<p>Development of the population size when no risky event is present (baseline), and when a continuous risk (1 individual killed from <i>t</i>₁ to <i>t</i>₅) or a dread risk (5 individuals killed at <i>t</i>₁) event occurs. A dread risk leads to a more immediate impact on cumulative population size that lasts longer compared with the continuous risk.</p
