title: Cooperation, optimal density and low density thresholds: yet another modification of the logistic model.
abstract: A modification of the logistic model is proposed which incorporates the principles of optimal density and cooperation. Three components have been added defining effectivity, "saturation" and exponentiality of cooperation. By adequate choice of constants a wide array of population characteristics may be represented including threshholds of growth. The main application of the model concerns, low density problems such as colonization and extinction.
