Sentence examples for mean patch occupancy from inspiring English sources
We compute the mean patch occupancy for a stochastic, spatially explicit patch-occupancy metapopulation model on a dynamic, correlated landscape, using a mathematically exact perturbation expansion about a mean-field limit that applies when dispersal range is large.
Stochasticity in the metapopulation and landscape dynamics gives negative contributions to patch occupancy, the former being more important at high occupancy and the latter at low occupancy.
Patch occupancy differed greatly among species: all species significantly occurred more often in large and connected patches.
Our analyses focus on "patch occupancy" metapopulation models, which only consider whether a patch is occupied or not.
We also found that with colonization and extinction inhibitions, equilibrium patch occupancy is inversely related to patch turnover rate.
The better models explained 10 16% of the log-likelihood of the probability of patch occupancy.
Using logistic regression and hierarchical partitioning, two models of patch occupancy were developed.
However, the effects of human density on patch occupancy operated at extremely local scales.
Roads increased number of patches and patch density, and decreased mean patch size and largest patch index.
