Metapopulation dynamics
@article{Hanski1998MetapopulationD, title={Metapopulation dynamics}, author={Ilkka Hanski}, journal={Nature}, year={1998}, volume={396}, pages={41-49} }
Metapopulation biology is concerned with the dynamic consequences of migration among local populations and the conditions of regional persistence of species with unstable local populations. Well established effects of habitat patch area and isolation on migration, colonization and population extinction have now become integrated with classic metapopulation dynamics. This has led to models that can be used to predict the movement patterns of individuals, the dynamics of species, and the…

Metapopulation dynamics with migration and local competition
- Environmental Science
- 2003
This work studies a metapopulation model which explicitly incorporates the local population dynamics of two competing species and shows that the coupled system leads to much more complex outcomes than simple patch models that do not include explicit local dynamics.

A Metapopulation Model with Explicit Local Population Dynamics
- Environmental Science, Mathematics
- 2003
Many patch-based metapopulation models assume that the local population within each patch is at its equilibrium and independent of changes in patch occupancy. We studied a metapopulation model that…
DYNAMICS OF AN AGE‐STRUCTURED METAPOPULATION MODEL
- Environmental Science
- 2005
A metapopulation model that includes both landscape changes (patch destruction and recre- ation) and age-dependent metAPopulation dynamics is introduced that may need to address the temporal dynamics that characterize local popu- lations in fragmented landscapes.
Metapopulation Ecology

A metapopulation is a spatially structured population that persists over time as a set of local populations with limited dispersal between them. At equilibrium, the frequencies of local extinctions…

It is shown that space has a marked impact on the dynamics of apparent competition in multispecies predator–prey assemblages where two prey species shared a common natural enemy.
Do invasive species undergo metapopulation dynamics? A case study of the invasive Caspian gull, Larus cachinnans, in Poland
- Environmental Science
- 2010
During the initial stages of the invasion of Caspian gulls in Poland the species underwent metapopulation-like dynamics with frequent extinctions from colonized habitat patches, proving that metapipulation theory may be a useful conceptual framework for predicting which habitats are more vulnerable to invasion.
Seasonal variance in P system models for metapopulations
- Environmental Science

This paper investigates the influence of stochastic and periodic resource feeding processes, owing to seasonal variance, on emergent metapopulation dynamics.
Coexistence of competitors in deterministic and stochastic patchy environments

A deterministic metapopulation model that takes into account a time-dependent patchy environment and investigates the effects that spatial variations have on persistence and coexistence of two competing species.

A spatially realistic metapopulation model, which includes the first-order effects of patch area and isolation on extinction and colonization, has been tested and the distribution of an endangered butterfly was successfully predicted on the basis of parameter values estimated for a well-studied congeneric species.

Disturbance, interspecific interaction and diversity in metapopulations
- Environmental Science
- 1991
The effects of predation in mediating coexistence among competing prey species is examined and three models for interspecific competition are considered; if the species are identified with early and late successional species, the models describe the facilitation, inhibition and tolerance models of ecological succession.
Metapopulation extinction and genetic variation in dispersal-related traits
- Environmental Science
- 1997
Using computer simulation, it is found that within-deme selection against dispersal can set off a critical phase, during which the patch occupancy is low and the risk of extinction high, and genetic variation can pose a threat to persistence.
