contents This paper considers a multi-patch model, where each patch follows a logistic law, and patches are coupled by asymmetrical migration terms. First, in the case of perfect mixing, i.e when the migration rate tends to infinity, the total population follows a logistic equation with a carrying capacity which in general is different from the sum of the n carrying capacities, and depends on the migration terms. Second, we determine, in some particular cases, the conditions under which fragmentation and asymmetrical migration can lead to a total equilibrium population greater or smaller than the sum of the carrying capacities. Finally, for the three-patch model, we show numerically the existence of at least three critical values of the migration rate for which the total equilibrium population equals the sum of the carrying capacities.
