Abstract

This chapter attempts to enhance the interplay between the ecology and reliability fields by employing Boolean-based reliability language and techniques to quantify ecological metrics related to connectivity and redundancy. We emphasize the question of connectivity in models of probabilistic networks as a common area of interest for both fields. The chapter borrows techniques from mainstream reliability theory to treat a prominent problem of ecology, namely that of survivability (of a species), defined here as the probability of successful migration of a certain organism escaping from critical source habitat patches and seeking refuge in specific destination habitat patches via heterogeneous deletable ecological corridors, possibly with uninhabitable stepping stones en route. This problem might be reformulated in contexts other than that of migration, including those of (a) dynamics of metapopulations, colonization, or invasion, (b) gene flow, (c) spread of infectious diseases, epidemics, or pandemics, and (d) energy transfer within food webs. Indicators of network connectivity in classical reliability theory are probabilities that might be designated according to the set of source nodes and the set of destination nodes as one to one, one to many, many to many, or all to all. Our present notion of survivability (of a species) is also a probability of connectivity, now measured from any node (among many nodes) to any node (among many nodes). We explore methods for computing the survivability (of a species) by adapting switching-algebraic techniques that are usually employed in the reliability field. In addition to this survivability metric, we comment on some other connectivity indicators that are currently used in ecology. We stress two recent contributions to the ecology literature, one employing analogy with electric circuit theory, and another concerning the most reliable (or minimum-lag) dispersal paths.
