Summary: We consider a bifurcation problem arising from population biology
\[ \frac{du(t)}{dt} = f(u(t))-\varepsilon h(t), \]
where \(f(u)\) is a logistic type growth rate function, \(\varepsilon \geqslant 0\), \(h(t)\) is a continuous function of period \(T\) such that \(\int _0^Th(t)\,dt >0\). We prove that there exists an \(\varepsilon_0 >0\) such that the equation has exactly two \(T\)-periodic solutions when \(0< \varepsilon < \varepsilon _0\), exactly one \(T\)-periodic solution when \(\varepsilon = \varepsilon _0\), and no \(T\)-periodic solution when \(\varepsilon > \varepsilon _0\)
