High-density limits for metapopulations with no occupancy ceiling

Phil Pollett

(Joint work with Liam Hodgkinson)

Abstract: We consider a class of stochastic occupancy processes where there is no ceiling on the number of sites that can be occupied. We examine the limiting behaviour as the spatial density of sites increases. These limits are not only natural in the theory, but in practice as well, as they describe models with increasing environmental fidelity.
