Effects of within-patch heterogeneity on connectivity in pond-breeding amphibians studied by means of an individual-based model
The metapopulation framework presumes the habitat of a local population to be continuous and homogenous, and patch area is often used as a proxy for population size. Many populations of pond-breeding amphibians are assumed to follow metapopulation dynamics, and connectivity is mostly measured betwee...
