Simple analytical models assuming homogeneous space have been used to examine the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on metapopulation size. The models predict an extinction threshold, a critical amount of suitable habitat below which the metapopulation goes deterministically extinct. The con
A method is presented to estimate the minimum viable metapopulation size based on the basic reproductive number R 0 and the expected time to extinction τ E for epidemiological models. We exemplify our approach with two simple deterministic metapopulation models of the patch occupancy type and then p
