Abstract. This paper investigates the phenomena of clustering and multistability in a non-global coupled Ricker population model. The possibility of approximating the clusters dynamics by the smaller dimension systems is demonstrated. It is shown the formation and transformation of clusters is similar to the emergence and transformation of asynchronous modes of approximating systems.
Key words: metapopulation, dynamics, synchronization, coupled map lattice, clustering, basin of attraction.
