Answer 1

metapopulation :refer to the subpopulation in the large population. According to the island biogeography the rate of immigration and extinction are equal , large population with one species are more stable than small island with diverse species.

in metapopulation subpopulation which separated from each other interact with each other .

immigrant can colonise the empty island and as their number increases it result in increase of extinction due to competition .

all these are correct

colonisation and death rate ( island biogeography)

migration ( subpopulation )

population growth rates ( larger population survive more as small population are more prone to extinction )

all these processes are important in metapopulation models.
