Richard Levins [111] used the term “metapopulation” to describe a population of populations. Metapopulations naturally occur in fragmented habitats where each component of the habitat is occupied by one population and the populations are connected by migration. Levins proposed a very simple equation model to investigate the dynamics of the metapopulation in a temporally varying environment. Later, Hanski and Gilpin [67] gave more details from ecological view of point.
