Notes and Comments 299 success at small population sizes (Svane 1984; Robinson et al. 1993), and for species that exhibit high inbreeding depression (Lande et al. 1994). Even if there is no scar-1988; Lamont et al. 1993). An Allee-like effect can occur at the metapopulation city of reproductive opportunities at low densities, demographic stochasticity (May 1974; Shaffer 1987) may prelevel. For example, colonization is the equivalent of reproduction in a metapopulation, and a metapopulation vent successful establishment. In sum, dispersal costs and difficulties in colonizing may suffer a disproportionate reduction in colonization success at small p. This may cause the per capita metapo-suitable habitat may lead to an extinction threshold at low p, creating an Allee-like effect. Such a metapopulapulation growth rate to become negative below a threshold level of patch occupancy. tion may not increase when rare, even when suitable habitat is abundant.
