Population persistence in weakly-coupled sinks

Temporal autocorrelation can enhance the persistence and abundance of metapopulations comprised of coupled sinks.
In spatially heterogeneous landscapes, some habitats may be persistent sources, providing immigrants to sustain populations in unfavorable sink habitats (where extinction is inevitable without immigration). Recent theoretical and empirical studies of source-sink systems demonstrate that temporally variable local growth rates in sinks can substantially increase average abundance of a persisting ...
متن کاملWeakly-coupled metastable graviton
A graviton of a nonzero mass and decay width propagates five physical polarizations. The question of interactions of these polarizations is crucial for viability of models of massive/metastable gravity. This question is addressed in the context of the DGP model of a metastable graviton. First, I argue that the well-known breakdown of a naive perturbative expansion at a low scale is an artifact ...
متن کاملWeakly Coupled Discretized Gravity
We consider discretized gravity in 4+2 dimensions compactified on a disk of constant negative curvature. The curvature of the disk avoids the presence of dangerous ultra-light scalar modes but comes also along with a high multiplicity of states potentially jeopardizing a good strong-coupling behavior of the discretized theory. We demonstrate that for Standard Model matter propagating on the fiv...
متن کاملWEAKLY-coupled IIA Flux Compactifications
We study compactifications of type IIA string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds that are mirror to a subset of the type IIB LARGE-volume models. A combination of flux, α corrections and non-perturbative effects stabilises the moduli in a non-supersymmetric AdS vacuum. This vacuum has the feature that the (ten-dimensional) string coupling is exponentially small which can naturally lead to a TeV sup...
متن کاملOverdamping by weakly coupled environments
A quantum system weakly interacting with a fast environment usually undergoes a relaxation with complex frequencies whose imaginary parts are damping rates quadratic in the coupling to the environment, in accord with Fermi’s “Golden Rule”. We show for various models (spin damped by harmonic-oscillator or random-matrix baths, quantum diffusion, quantum Brownian motion) that upon increasing the c...
