We present a mathematical framework that combines extinction}colonization dynamics with the dynamics of patch succession. We draw an analogy between the epidemiological categorization of individuals (infected, susceptible, latent and resistant) and the patch structure of a spatially heterogeneous la

A generalization of the well-known Levins' model of metapopulations is studied. The generalization consists of (i) the introduction of immigration from a mainland, and (ii) assuming the dynamics is stochastic, rather than deterministic. A master equation, for the probability that n of the patches ar

The marginal value theorem (MVT) describes when a forager should leave a patch if it is to maximize its long-term rate of energetic gain. The theorem states that the forager should leave a patch when its instantaneous rate of energy gain in that patch falls to the overall rate for the environment. O
