metapopulációk
Metapopulációk refers to a spatially structured population composed of a mosaic of interacting sub-populations that are linked by dispersal. These sub-populations inhabit discrete patches of suitable habitat, and their persistence depends on a balance between local extinction and colonization events. The concept was introduced by Ilkka Hanski and colleagues, building upon earlier work by Richard Levins.
The key features of a metapopulation are the existence of multiple local populations, the possibility of extinction
Metapopulation dynamics are influenced by factors such as habitat patch size, isolation, quality, and the dispersal
