Question

What sort of conditions would create a metapopulation from a contiguous population? What factors are responsible for a species being more prone to living in a metapopulation structure and not a contiguous population?

Answer 1

Metapopulation is a group of conspecific population that exist at the same time but in different places it is based on the assumption that sub population of a particular species are linked to form a metapopulation .

The average number of people who has a disease from one contagious person in a population is known as contagious population.

The condition that create a metapopulation from contagious population is that metapopulation persistent requires that for a given extension rate colonization rate exceed threshold value and that for a given colonization rate their extinction rate is smaller than threshold value

This means that in spite of simplicity and obvious limitations.

The factors that affect species being more prone to the living in a metapopulation structure than contagious populations are

• the environment consists of patches that is areas of habit that contain requirement for persistent of species is separated from each other by area of unsuitable habit
• a population of individual species that occur within the same catch and interact reproduce most with each other
• some of all the demes in the metapopulation are subject to local extinction.
