Two-patch population models with adaptive dispersal: the effects of varying dispersal speeds.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The population-dispersal dynamics for predator-prey interactions and two competing species in a two patch environment are studied. It is assumed that both species (i.e., either predators and their prey, or the two competing species) are mobile and their dispersal between patches is directed to the higher fitness patch. It is proved that such dispersal, irrespectively of its speed, cannot destabilize a locally stable predator-prey population equilibrium that corresponds to no movement at all. In the case of two competing species, dispersal can destabilize population equilibrium. Conditions are given when this cannot happen, including the case of identical patches.

Periodic dynamical systems in unidirectional metapopulation models
In periodically varying environments, population models generate periodic dynamical systems. To understand the effects of unidirectional dispersal on local patch dynamics in fluctuating environments, dynamical systems theory is used to study the resulting periodic dynamical systems. In particular, a unidirectional dispersal linked two patch nonautonomous metapopulation model is constructed and ...
متن کاملEffects of patch number and dispersal patterns on population dynamics and synchrony.
In this paper, we examine the effects of patch number and different dispersal patterns on dynamics of local populations and on the level of synchrony between them. Local population renewal is governed by the Ricker model and we also consider asymmetrical dispersal as well as the presence of environmental heterogeneity. Our results show that both population dynamics and the level of synchrony di...
متن کاملThe magnitude of local adaptation under genotype-dependent dispersal
Dispersal moves individuals from patches where their immediate ancestors were successful to sites where their genotypes are untested. As a result, dispersal generally reduces fitness, a phenomenon known as "migration load." The strength of migration load depends on the pattern of dispersal and can be dramatically lessened or reversed when individuals move preferentially toward patches conferrin...
متن کاملEvolution of complex density-dependent dispersal strategies.
The question of how dispersal behavior is adaptive and how it responds to changes in selection pressure is more relevant than ever, as anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change accelerate around the world. In metapopulation models where local populations are large, and thus local population size is measured in densities, density-dependent dispersal is expected to evolve to a single-th...
متن کاملAsynchronous and Synchronous Dispersals in Spatially Discrete Population Models
This study is on the role of synchronous and asynchronous dispersals in a discrete-time single-species population model with dispersal between two patches, where predispersal dynamics are compensatory or overcompensatory and dispersal is synchronous or asynchronous or mixed synchronous and asynchronous. It is known that single-species dispersal-linked population models behave as singlespecies s...
