This paper is focused on the behavior near the extinction time of solutions of systems of ordinary differential equations with a sublinear dissipation term. Suppose the dissipation term is a product of a linear mapping A and a positively homogeneous scalar function H of a negative degree -α. Then any solution with an extinction time T_* behaves like (T_*-t)1/αξ_* as time t→ T_*-, where ξ_* is an eigenvector of A. The result allows the higher order terms to be general and the nonlinear function H to take very complicated forms. As a demonstration, our theoretical study is applied to an inhomogeneous population model.
