A framework for studying transients in marine metapopulations
Transient dynamics can often differ drastically from the asymptotic dynamics of systems. In this paper we provide a unifying framework for analysing transient dynamics in marine metapopulations, from the choice of norms to the addition of stage structure. We use the $\ell_1$ norm, because of its biological interpretation, to extend the transient metrics of reactivity and attenuation to marine metapopulations, and use examples to compare these metrics under the more commonly used $\ell_2$ norm. We then connect the reactivity and attenuation of marine metapopulations to the source-sink distribution of habitat patches and demonstrate how to meaningfully measure reactivity when metapopulations are stage-structured.
