Dynamics of different topological configurations in a three-patch metapopulation model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The possible dynamics of an ecosystem with three interconnected patches among which one population can migrate are investigated, paying attention to the consequences that possible disruption in the communicating paths can cause.

A Metapopulation Model with Local Competitions
A metapopulation model with explicit local dynamics is studied. Unlike many patch-based metapopulation models which assume that the local population within each patch is at its equilibrium, our model incorporates population changes in local patches that interact with metapopulation dynamics. The model keeps track of the fractions of patches that have species 1 only, species 2 only, or both spec...

Wu, J., Vankat, J.L. and Barlas, Y., 1993. Effects of patch connectivity and arrangement on animal mctapopulation dynamics: a simulation study. Ecol. Modelling, 65: 221-254. We constructed a simulation model of metapopulation dynamics consisting of two or three habitat patches using STELLA. our simulations show that, given the assumptions of the deterministic model, the metapopulation is doomed...
متن کاملA spatially structured metapopulation model with patch dynamics.
Metapopulation models that incorporate both spatial and temporal structure are studied in this paper. The existence and stability of equilibria are provided, and an extinction threshold condition is derived which depends on patch dynamics (patch destruction and creation) and metapopulation dynamics (patch colonization and extinction). These results refine threshold conditions given by previous ...
متن کاملPattern does not equal process: what does patch occupancy really tell us about metapopulation dynamics?
Patch occupancy surveys are commonly used to parameterize metapopulation models. If isolation predicts patch occupancy, this is generally attributed to a balance between distance-dependent recolonization and spatially independent extinctions. We investigated whether similar patterns could also be generated by a process of spatially correlated extinctions following a unique colonization event (a...
متن کاملA model for a spatially structured metapopulation accounting for within patch dynamics.
We develop a stochastic metapopulation model that accounts for spatial structure as well as within patch dynamics. Using a deterministic approximation derived from a functional law of large numbers, we develop conditions for extinction and persistence of the metapopulation in terms of the birth, death and migration parameters. Interestingly, we observe the Allee effect in a metapopulation compr...
