- Title
ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN PATCH AREA AND VITAL RATES: CONSEQUENCES FOR LOCAL AND REGIONAL POPULATIONS.
- Authors
Hokit, D. Grant; Branch, Lyn C.
- Abstract
The article presents a study which explores the consequences of including deterministic relationships between vital rates and patch area in metapopulation models. The association of fecundity and monthly survivorship with patch size for the Florida scrub lizard or Sceloporus woodi is stated. It is inferred that model simulations with demographic parameters equal for all patch sizes results to a more linear decline in extinction probability with patch size.
