metapopulationsdynamik
Metapopulation dynamics refers to the study of spatially separated populations of the same species that interact at some level. These populations are often referred to as subpopulations, and they exist within a larger landscape that is fragmented into patches. The core concept is that while individual subpopulations may go extinct, the species as a whole can persist due to colonization of empty patches by individuals from occupied patches.
The dynamics of metapopulations are influenced by several key factors. These include the rate of local extinction
Understanding metapopulation dynamics is crucial for conservation biology. Conservation efforts often focus on maintaining or increasing
