In this paper we consider the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of a nonlinear elliptic boundary-value problem with nonlinear boundary conditions which arises in population dynamics. While bifurcation problems from lines of trivial solutions are studied, the existence of bifurcation positive solutions from infinity is discussed. The former will be caught by the reduction to a bifurcation equation following the Lyapunov and Schmidt procedure. The latter will be based on a variational argument depending on the corresponding constrained minimization problem.
