Single species migration in two habitats: Persistence and extinction

It is the purpose of this paper to model a population living in two habitats with migration between the two habitats and predation during the migration process. In addition, harvesting could occur in one or both habitats. Models of two autonomous ordinary differential equations are utilized with pre...

Summary:It is the purpose of this paper to model a population living in two habitats with migration between the two habitats and predation during the migration process. In addition, harvesting could occur in one or both habitats. Models of two autonomous ordinary differential equations are utilized with predation incorporated as a probability of survival. Persistence and extinction criteria are examined. An application to the Burwash caribou herd is given.
