9. Source–sink dynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source–sink_dynamics

   Source–sink dynamics is a theoretical model used by ecologists to describe how variation in habitat quality may affect the population growth or decline of organisms.. Since quality is likely to vary among patches of habitat, it is important to consider how a low quality patch might affect a population.
