Abstract
A range of island chain models in the literature are gradient systems.
This implies that the asymptotic dynamics of such models is trivial:
all solutions tend to stationary points. Results for one-dimensional i
sland chains are extended to habitats with more complicated geometries
and to models with competitive species.
