Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in the dynamics of metapopulations, where a number of local populations are coupled via dispersal. The importance of movement for the persistence of an ensemble of locally unstable patches has been established in many studies. In this paper, we present analytical and simulation results concerning the effects of spatial structure on the equilibrium stability of individual populations. We conclude that for general single-species and two-species competition models, the introduction of the spatial dimension in a biologically sensible way has no effect on the overall stability properties. In host-parasitoid models, however, strong host or parasitoid over-dispersal may be destabilizing.
