Some problems of effects of spatial dispersal and environmental heterogeneity on the dynamics of populations are studied. The dynamics of a population inhabiting a heterogeneous environment are modelled by a diffusive logistic equation with spatially varying growth rate. The overall suitability of an environment is characterized by the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding linearized equation. The dependence of the eigenvalue on the spatial arrangement of regions of favourable and unfavourable habitat and on boundary conditions is analyzed in a few cases.
