Network topology and patch connectivity affect dynamics in experimental and model metapopulations
PA Arancibia, PJ Morin - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Biological populations are rarely isolated in space and instead interact with others via
dispersal in metapopulations. Theory predicts that network connectivity patterns can have …

The stability of competitive metacommunities is insensitive to dispersal connectivity in a fluctuating environment
Y Suzuki, EP Economo - The American Naturalist, 2024 - journals.uchicago.edu
Maintaining the stability of ecological communities is critical for conservation, yet we lack a
clear understanding of what attributes of metacommunity structure control stability. Some …

Effects of patch connectivity and arrangement on animal metapopulation dynamics: a simulation study
We constructed a simulation model of metapopulation dynamics consisting of two or three
habitat patches using STELLA. our simulations show that, given the assumptions of the …

Species persistence in spatially regular networks
Over the past decades, numerous studies have provided new insights into the importance of
spatial network structure for metapopulation persistence. However, systematic work on how …

Beyond connectivity: how the structure of dispersal influences metacommunity dynamics
SM Hayes, KE Anderson - Theoretical Ecology, 2018 - Springer
Dispersal within metacommunities can play a major role in species persistence by
promoting asynchrony between communities. Understanding this role is crucial both for …

Structural complexity, movement bias, and metapopulation extinction risk in dendritic ecological networks
EH Campbell Grant - Journal of the North American …, 2011 - journals.uchicago.edu
Spatial complexity in metacommunities can be separated into 3 main components: size (ie,
number of habitat patches), spatial arrangement of habitat patches (network topology), and …

Habitat patch arrangement and metapopulation persistence of predators and prey
M Holyoak - The American Naturalist, 2000 - journals.uchicago.edu
This study tests whether spatial dynamics can stabilize metapopulations with a small
number of patches and tests the influence of patch arrangement. I measured persistence of …

Using complex network metrics to predict the persistence of metapopulations with asymmetric connectivity patterns
Almost all metapopulation modelling assumes that connectivity between patches is only a
function of distance, and is therefore symmetric. However, connectivity will not depend only …

Assessing the roles of patch quality, area, and isolation in predicting metapopulation dynamics
Two aspects of patch geometry—area and isolation—currently dominate the field of
metapopulation dynamics. Under this area‐and‐isolation paradigm, models commonly …
