We consider a model recently introduced by Barton & Etheridge for a population evolving in a spatial continuum, in which a succession of catastrophic events of varying intensity allows for the possibility of large-scale extinction and recolonisation. These reproduction events are based on a Poisson process of spatial events (rather than individuals) and the potential number of ofispring produced during such an event is Poisson with a certain intensity. We show that if this intensity is su‐ciently large the population, when started from a translation invariant initial condition in R d , survives with probability one, whereas for low intensities the population dies out. Moreover we prove that ergodicity holds even in low dimensions. This contrasts sharply with the Dawson-Watanabe process and other traditional models in which reproduction of difierent individuals is uncorrelated.
