A metapopulation consists of subpopulations that live in patches and exchange individuals through immigration and emigration. Dispersal between patches allows for colonization of unoccupied areas and maintenance of the metapopulation. One example is butterfly populations that live in patches of meadows - a study found that butterflies are more likely to disperse from small populations to larger ones. Isolation of patches due to climate change threatens metapopulations by limiting dispersal between subpopula
