Most landscapes are heterogeneous at many spatial scales. Heterogeneity can reflect natural resource distribution (e.g., nutrients or temperature) or human activity (e.g., harvesting or agricultural land use). All of these factors may affect the local growth rate of individuals and their interactions. These effects can be modeled by an explicit dependence of the growth function on spatial location. Spatial heterogeneity can also affect individual dispersal patterns, either passively (e.g., dispersal barriers, wind direction) or actively (e.g., search for resources, avoidance of dangers). Including spatially varying dispersal patterns in IDEs and analyzing the resulting population dynamics poses numerous challenges. In previous chapters, we concentrated on two kinds of landscapes: a homogeneous infinite landscape and a single (homogeneous) bounded region. In this chapter, we present several approaches to include more realistic spatial heterogeneity in IDEs. We begin with models where only the growth function is affected by spatial heterogeneity and later present ways to include heterogeneity in movement models and dispersal kernels.
