Human-facilitated metapopulation dynamics in an emerging pest species, Cimex lectularius
The number and demographic history of colonists can have dramatic consequences for the way in which genetic diversity is distributed and maintained in a metapopulation. The bed bug (Cimex lectularius) is a re-emerging pest species whose close association with humans has led to frequent local extinction and colonization, that is, to metapopulation dynamics. Pest control limits the lifespan of su...
متن کاملDynamics of an Age-structured Metapopulation Model
We introduce a metapopulation model that includes both landscape changes (patch destruction and recreation) and age-dependent metapopulation dynamics. A threshold quantity is derived and related to the existence of an ecologically nontrivial equilibrium, to the stability of the speciesfree equilibrium, and to weak and strong persistence of the species. We provide examples to illustrate how age-...
متن کاملPopulation proteomics: an emerging discipline to study metapopulation ecology.
Proteomics research has developed until recently in a relative isolation from other fast-moving disciplines such as ecology and evolution. This is unfortunate since applying proteomics to these disciplines has apparently the potential to open new perspectives. The huge majority of species indeed exhibit over their entire geographic range a metapopulation structure, occupying habitats that are f...

متن کاملThe metapopulation dynamics of an infectious disease: tuberculosis in possums.
An SEI metapopulation model is developed for the spread of an infectious agent by migration. The model portrays two age classes on a number of patches connected by migration routes which are used as host animals mature. A feature of this model is that the basic reproduction ratio may be computed directly, using a scheme that separates topography, demography, and epidemiology. We also provide fo...
