Explores how landscape structure may often be an important component of metapopulation dynamics and proposes ways in which landscape ecology and metapopulation theory can contribute to an “exciting scientific synthesis.”

This synthesis between neutral landscape models and metapopulation theory is the basis for the second part of this lab.
