Abstract

The simplest model of a smart spatial redistribution of individuals is proposed. A single-species population is considered, to be composed of two discrete subpopulations inhabiting two stations; migration is a transfer between them. The migration is not random and yields the maximization of net reproduction, with respect to the transaction costs. The organisms are supposed to be globally informed. Discrete time model is studied, since it shows all the features of a smart migrations, while the continuous time case brings no new knowledge but the technical problems. Some properties of the model are studied and discussed.
