The first section of this thesis considers the relationship between the rate at which individuals enter a population, and their impact in terms of gene flow, this involved a laboratory experiment using Drosophilia melanogaster. The second section explores the value of using genetic diversity data to make qualitative "rules of thumb" decisions when managing the dynamics of metapopulations. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Adelaide University, Dept. of Applied and Molecular Ecology, 2001
