Abstract

Overharvesting is a pressing global problem, and spatial management, such as protecting designated areas, is one proposed solution. This study examines how connectivity (in terms of dispersal rate) between protected and harvested areas affects the asymptotic total population size and the asymptotic yield, which are key questions for conservation management and the design of protected areas. We utilise a two-patch model with heterogeneous habitat qualities, symmetric dispersal and density-dependent growth functions in both discrete and continuous time. One patch is subject to proportional harvesting, while the other one is protected.
