Metapopulation - Wikipedia
WEBA metapopulation consists of a group of spatially separated populations of the same species which interact at some level. The term metapopulation was coined by Richard Levins in 1969 to describe a model of population dynamics of insect pests in agricultural fields, but the idea has been most broadly applied to species in naturally or ...

WEBMetapopulation, in ecology, a regional group of connected populations of a species. For a given species, each metapopulation is continually being modified by increases (births and immigrations) and decreases (deaths and emigrations) of individuals, as well as by the emergence and dissolution of.

WEBAbstract. The metapopulation idea focuses on spatial patchiness of populations, and its role in population dynamics, population stability, coexistence of species and evolutionary processes. At the simplest level, colonization and extinction of local populations in regional metapopulations are key, but metapopulations generalize to ...
