Abstract
In the previous chapters we have modeled population dynamics in response to births and deaths, and we have assumed that the respective flows originate or disappear in “clouds.” If we deal with migration in the context of population dynamics, we may want to explicitly model the source and recipients of the flows of migrants. This is the topic of this chapter. The model developed here is quite general and provides a basis for our discussion of spatial dynamics in Chapters 32, 36, 40, and 41.
There is no coming into being of aught that perishes, nor any end for it. … but only mingling, and separation of what has been mingled. Empedocles
