A metapopulation consists of a group of spatially separated populations of the same species which interact at some level. The term metapopulation was coined by Richard Levins in 1969 to describe a model of population dynamics of insect pests in agricultural fields, but the idea has been most broadly applied to species in naturally or artificially ...

(from the article `population ecology`) Although the dynamics and evolution of a single closed population are governed by its life history, populations of many species are not completely ...

All the individuals of a species living in an area that contains a set of subpopulations (local populations) close enough together so that individuals from occupied habitat patches can disperse and recolonize patches where the species has gone extinct.

a population perceived to exist as a series of subpopulations, linked by migration between them. However, the rate of migration is limited, such that the dynamics of the metapopulation should be seen as the sum of the dynamics of the individual subpopulations.

A metapopulation consists of a group of spatially separated populations that interact at some level. The development of metapopulation theory, in conjunction with the development of source-sink dynamics, emphasises the importance of connectivity between seemingly isolated populations. The theory assumes that although no single population may be abl...
