✦ Synopsis

There appear to be two different kinds of theoretical results about stochastic patch-occupancy metapopulation models: those recently proposed by Gyllenberg and Silvestrov about metapopulations including a very stable patch, and those by Darroch and Seneta about more general metapopulations. Based on the spectral theory of linear operators, it is shown that the results by Gyllenberg and Silvestrov are a limiting case of those by Darroch and Seneta. Taking the examples proposed by Gyllenberg and Silvestrov as a case study, the application and relevance of these results are discussed, with a particular stress to their bearing on real metapopulations.

The explicit consideration of space in ecological research is of paramount importance to understand the structure and functioning of ecological systems. In this paper we develop a simple spatially explicit metapopulation model in which colonization is constant and independent of the number of occupi

We consider the emergence of power-law tails in the returns distribution of limit-order driven markets. We explain a previously observed clash between the theoretical and numerical studies of such models. We introduce a solvable model that interpolates between the previous studies and agrees with ea
