ABSTRACT
It is known that the Beverton-Holt equation with periodically varying carrying capacity has a globally attracting solution and the solution exhibits attenuation, i.e. the average of the solution over one period is strictly less than the average of the carrying capacity. Interpreted this means a periodically varying environment has a deleterious effect on the average of the solution. Also known is a randomly varying carrying capacity also yields attenuation. In this work the authors show that an almost periodic carrying capacity also yields attenuation.
