Define metapopulation. How does this concept relate to the spatial distribution (dispersion) of the population over a geographic region?
Problem 2
What four conditions are necessary for the term metapopulation to be applied to a system of local populations?
Problem 4
How do the size and spatial arrangement of habitat patches (local populations) influence metapopulation dynamics? Discuss in terms of probabilities of extinction and colonization.
Problem 6
What is the rescue effect? Under what set of conditions might this effect be important?
Problem 7
Contrast the terms source population and sink population. What feature(s) of a population define it as being a potential source or \(\operatorname{sink} ?\)
Problem 8
How does the concept of source and sink population relate to habitat quality?
Problem 9
What environmental factors might function to synchronize local population dynamics over a region?
