How patch configuration affects the impact of disturbances on metapopulation persistence
How patch configuration affects the impact of disturbances on metapopulation persistence is a scholarly work by Séverine Vuilleumier, Benjamin Cairns, and Hugh P. Possingham, published in 2006 in ''Theoretical Population Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include habitat, introduced species, metapopulation, occupancy, epidemiological modeling, -, Persistence, conservation biology, ecology, extinction, population, and biology. The authors consider how metapopulation persistence is affected by different disturbance regimes and the way in which disturbances spread, when metapopulations are compact or elongated, using a stochastic spatially explicit model which includes metapopulation and habitat dynamics.
