The role of metapopulations in conservation
... Most metapopulations are the regional-scale expression of responses by individuals to patchiness in their habitat. Persistence at the regional level is enhanced if individuals can retain some ability to move across the matrix to prevent local extinctions or to recolonize empty patches. Here we descr ...
