Document Summary
R = b d + i e. Dispersal to an unoccupied habitat patch is referred to as colonization. Circled population good indication of immigration because when the subpopulation size gets to zero (goes extinct/extirpated), recruitment occurs via immigration (this subpopulation was rescued by another subpopulation) A collection of spatially distinct subpopulations (or patches) of the same species that are connected to one another via dispersal. Also referred to as a population of populations . Strictly, the whole system persists over time, even though individual populations sometimes go extinct. Becoming more common with fragmentation at one time very large populations, get chipped away & become a collection of smaller populations. The movement of an organism from its place of birth or activity to another location. It usually refers to the movement of individuals or propagules (larvae/seeds/spores) of fragments away from a group of others of the same species.
