Abstract

Such steady state equations arise in population dynamics encapsulating assumptions regarding the patch/matrix interfaces such as patch preference and movement behavior. In this paper, we will discuss the exact bifurcation diagram and stability properties for such a steady state model.

Highlights

  • Habitat fragmentation creates landscape-level spatial heterogeneity which influences the population dynamics of the resident species

  • Fragmentation often leads to declines in abundance of the species as the fragmented landscape becomes more susceptible to edge effects between the remnant habitat patches and the lower quality human-modified “matrix” surrounding these focal patches [1,2,3]

  • Studies of movement behavior in response to different habitat edge conditions clearly demonstrate that the composition of the matrix can influence emigration rates, patterns of movement, and withinpatch distributions of a species (e.g., [4,5,6])

Summary

Introduction

Habitat fragmentation creates landscape-level spatial heterogeneity which influences the population dynamics of the resident species. We will briefly summarize the modeling framework and boundary condition derivation given in [12] and present our main results. Organisms modify their movement behavior at the patch/matrix interface and would have a probability α of remaining in or leaving different from 50%.
