Describe what a metapopulation is and how this concept applies to the conservation of a species or invasive species dynamics. Provide and explain at least two examples. Describe an ecosystem and all the parts included. Why is an eco...
Populations are also studied and modeled according to the metapopulation concept. The metapopulation concept was introduced in 1969:[59] "as a population of populations which go extinct locally and recolonize."[60]:105 Metapopulation ecology is another statistical approach that is often used in conser...

Explain what the term "non-native species" means and why it is such a problem in an ecosystem. 1. Choose a species of plant or animal and research its basic biology. a. Describe the species and its ecology. b. What kinds of factors are...
What is cDNA and why is it important? What is a metapopulation and why are they important? Describe why biodegradation is an important process in natural ecosystems. What is vascularization and why is it important to brain organoids/minibrains? Why it is important to explain the pathophysi...
We found that studies of contemporary adaptation fall into two general settings: (1) colonization of new environments that established newly adapted populations, and (2) local adaptations within the context of a heterogeneous environments and metapopulation structure. Local ecological processes associated ...
The metapopulation paradigm is relevant to conservation, but metapopulations might not be common in nature. For instance, empirical parameterization within the metapopulation paradigm is usually infeasible. A challenge is to determine why ecology fails to match needs of managers sometimes but helps at ...
