This study introduces a novel method to estimate the minimum viable metapopulation size using the basic reproductive number (R0) and expected time to extinction (τE). This approach is validated with deterministic and stochastic metapopulation models.

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Epidemiology
  • Mathematical Biology

Background:

  • Metapopulation dynamics are crucial for species survival and disease spread.
  • Estimating minimum viable population size is essential for conservation and public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for estimating minimum viable metapopulation size.
  • To utilize epidemiological parameters like R(0) and τE for this estimation.

Main Methods:

  • The study presents a method based on the basic reproductive number (R0).
  • It incorporates the expected time to extinction (τE).
  • The method is applied to deterministic and stochastic metapopulation models.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method successfully estimates minimum viable metapopulation size.

  • Validation was performed using patch occupancy metapopulation models.
  • Stochastic models were employed to refine the estimation.

    • Conclusions:

    • The R0 and τE provide a robust framework for assessing metapopulation viability.
    • This method offers a valuable tool for ecological and epidemiological risk assessment.
    • Further application to complex metapopulation structures is warranted.
