Abstract
The term marginal populations has been used in a geographical sense as well as in describing a population adapted to a harsh type of environment or an ill-adapted population which persistence is crucially dependent on the inflow of migrant individuals. At least the latter concept implies that marginal populations share properties with transient or unstable populations.
