There are two main types of metapopulation models. Spatially implicit models are analytically tractable but neglect spatial heterogeneities. Spatially explicit models are more realistic but too complex. In this paper, I build a bridge between both approximations. I derive a new metapopulation model

Many conclusions about migration in promoting persistence of metapopulations are based on very simple models, which ignore the effect of migration on local dynamics. These models are called patch models. Migration has typically several costs, including mortality of migrants en route, mortality owing
Using both analytic and numerical methods, we elucidate the dynamical properties of a class of metapopulation models in which many different species/strains contend for persistence, with local extinction of subpopulations being balanced by colonization of other patches. The species/strains have a st
