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
