Asymmetric migration decreases stability but increases resilience in a heterogeneous metapopulation

Asymmetric migration decreases stability but increases resilience in a heterogeneous metapopulation

Asymmetrical movement among patches could affect the stability of ecological metapopulations, but this is difficult to test empirically. Here, Limdi et al. use experimental yeast metapopulations to show that asymmetric migration decreases stability but increases resilience to transient shocks.
