Stabilization of metapopulation cycles: Toward a classification scheme
This video was recorded at 4th European Phd Complexity School. The stability of population oscillations in ecological systems is considered. Experiments suggest that in many cases the single patch dynamics of predator prey or host-parasite systems is extinction prone and stability is achieved only when the spatial structure of the population is expressed via desynchronization between patches. A few mechanisms have been suggested so far to explain the inability of dispersal to synchronize the system. We suggest a classification scheme that allows for either a-priori (based on the system parameters) or a posteriori (based on local measurements) identification of the dominant process that yields desynchronization.
