Description

Mathematical modeling approach extending classic Levins metapopulation models to incorporate both consumptive and nonconsumptive effects of generalist predators on prey colonization and extinction dynamics. Uses differential equations to analyze patch occupancy dynamics and equilibrium conditions.

Typical Equipment

  • Mathematical modeling
  • Mathematical analysis

Output Measurements

  • equilibrium patch occupancy
  • invasion criteria
  • extinction thresholds
