Abstract:
A unification of recently proposed models describing population dynamics is presented. We study the effect of different factors, like environmental conditions, concentration of individuals in a given area and migration strategies, on population dynamics. Moreover, we show that a population occupying a smaller area is more susceptible to extinction, which is a well known biological fact. We solve the model using Monte Carlo simulations and the mean-field approach. Constructing flow diagrams we find the optimal strategy in population dynamics.
