metapopulation

Examples

• All

• Although 1,600 wolves may possibly allow adequate connectivity and genetic exchange to sustain the metapopulation, the population numbers proposed under Idaho and Montana's management plans do not.

• Reserve design should be developed in the context of metapopulation dynamics discussed earlier.

  Academic text (1997)

• With management, a metapopulation with some nested subpopulations would be established.

• The case of L. equestris raises interesting questions concerning the role of movements in the dynamics of subdivided populations or metapopulations.

  Academic text (2007)

• For example, natural metapopulation dynamics often include local, temporary extinctions balanced by recolonizations via dispersal (Hanski and Gilpin 1991).

  Academic text (1994)
