Assignment:

Dr Pennings studied an artificial metapopulation of aquatic insects constructed out of 20 kiddie pools deployed on the roof of Cullen Hall. Insects could move between pools by flying, but it wasn't easy for them. He determined all the parameters of the metapopulation model dp/dt=cp(1-p)-ep. What would be the biggest change to these parameters if he replaced the pools with the same number of smaller pools?
