Metapopulation models • Most theoretical metapopulation models assume that all populations have identical extinction rates, and that they are all equi-distant from one another (e.g. Harrison and Quinn 1989) • But these models are too far removed from realities of specific multi-site situations to be of practical use for particular species.
Incidence function models • Developed by Hanski (1991, 1994) • Sjögren-Gulve and Ray 1996, Moilanen 1999, 2000 and Kindvall 2000) Ilkka Hanski Atte Moilanen
The Incidence function model Use patterns of patch occupancy over time and space (“incidence’) to estimate: Ei, the probability of extinction for habitat patch i when it is occupied, and Ci, the probability that patch i becomes colonized when it is occupied Taking in account the patch’s habitat area, habitat quality, distance to other populations, and other potentially important characteristics
The Incidence function model • We start assuming specific function forms for the effects of the causal factors (patch area and quality, proximity of other populations, etc) on Ei and Ci.
Extinction e=1 x=0.5 A= area P(extinction ) in patch i Area
Colonization M= number of migrants y=1 P(colonization) in patch i Arriving migrants
The number of migrants • depends on: • The probability of other patches having extant populations, their population sizes (which is assumed to be proportional to the area of each patch), the rate at which dispersers leave the patch, and the distances from each other patch to focal patch i.
The number of migrants Mi= number of migrants β = per-unit-area migrant production rate A= patch i area Scaled by parameter b to allow for nonlinearity pj= 0 = empty and pj=1 if occupied α= scaling factor
A=10 A=20 Number of migrants (M) distance Number of migrants A= area
The incidence function model The probability that site i is occupied in any one site is predicted by in cases where rescue effects are thought to occur
The incidence function model • A snap-shot of the pattern of patch occupancy can be used to estimate the parameters governing Ci and Ei However, it means assuming that the occupancy patterns seen in the field are very near their equilibrium values
The incidence function model Where e’=ey’ and y’=y/β
