In this paper, we study the classification and evolution of bifurcation curves of positive solutions for one-dimensional Minkowski-curvature problem
 \left\{ \begin{array}{*{35}{l}} \begin{align} & -{{\left( {{u}^{\prime }}/\sqrt{1-{{u}^{\prime }}^{2}} \right)}^{\prime }}=\lambda f(u),\ \text{in }\left( -L,L \right), \\ & u(-L)=u(L)=0, \\ \end{align} \\\end{array} \right.
where
 $\lambda >0$
is a bifurcation parameter,
 $L>0$
is an evolution parameter,
 $f\in C[0, \infty )\cap C^{2}(0, \infty )$
and there exists
 $\beta >0$
such that
 $\left( \beta -z\right) f(z)>0$
for
 $z\neq \beta$
. In particular, we find that the bifurcation curve
 $S_{L}$
is monotone increasing for all
 $L>0$
when
 $f(u)/u$
is of Logistic type, and is either
 $\subset$
-shaped or S-shaped for large
 $L>0$
when
 $f(u)/u$
is of weak Allee effect type. Finally, we can apply these results to obtain the global bifurcation diagrams in some important applications including ecosystem model.
