The paper considers a $n$-patch model with migration terms, where each patch follows a logistic law. First, we give some properties of the total equilibrium population. In some particular cases, we determine the conditions under which fragmentation and migration can lead to a total equilibrium population which might be greater or smaller than the sum of the $n$ carrying capacities. Second, in the case of perfect mixing, i.e when the migration rate tends to infinity, the total population follows a logistic law with a carrying capacity which in general is different from the sum of the $n$ carrying capacities. Finally, for the three-patch model we show numerically that the increase in number of patches from two to three gives a new behavior for the dynamics of the total equilibrium population as a function of the migration rate.

Qualitative properties of model (4) when (16) holds. In $\mathcal{J}_0$, patchiness has a beneficial effect on total equilibrium population. This effect is detrimental in $\mathcal{J}_2$. In $\mathcal{J}_1$, the effect is beneficial for $\beta<\beta_0$ and detrimental for $\beta>\beta_0$

The numerical values of the parameters for the logistic growth function of the model (4), with $n = 3$, used in Fig.k__ge 2, 3, 4. All migration coefficients satisfy $\gamma_{ij} = 1$. The derivative of the total equilibrium population at $\beta = 0$ is computed with Eq. (48), and the perfect mixing total equilibrium population $X_{T}^{\ast}(+\infty)$ is computed with Eq. (24)
