Synchronization and entrainment of metapopulations: A trade-off among time-induced heterogeneity, dispersal, and seasonal force.
Physical Review. E 2018 June
Demographic and environmental heterogeneities are prevalent across many natural systems. Earlier studies on metapopulation models have mostly considered heterogeneities either in the demographic parameters or in the interaction strength and topology between the spatially separated patches. In contrast, here we study the dynamics of a metapopulation model where each of the uncoupled patches has different periods of oscillations (period mismatch). We show different synchronization dynamics governed by both period mismatch and dispersal in neighboring patches. Indeed, we find both appearance and disappearance of phase synchronization, quasiperiodic oscillations, and period doubling of limit cycle. We also quantify the effect of seasonal variation (entrainment) and dispersal on species synchrony using phase-response curve and a synchrony measure, which thereof identify the influence of stochasticity on species persistence through trade-off mechanisms. Our results show that trade-offs among period mismatch, dispersal, and external force can drive entrained oscillations as well as asynchronous population dynamics that structure ecological communities.
