Each group maintains contacts with the other groups of SUb-populations; this system has been called by Levins (1970) metapopulation. Extinction and recoloniz;ltion are two essential components of the metapopulation model. The distance of a subpopulation to another is the key factor determining survival or the extinction (Figure 3). 26 Figure 3. Examples of metapopulation models. Habitat patches are indicated by closed circles; filled=occupied, unfilled=vacant. Dashed lines represent the boundaries of population.
