Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Dispersal is ubiquitous throughout the tree of life: factors selecting for dispersal include kin
competition, inbreeding avoidance and spatiotemporal variation in resources or habitat …

Understanding and predicting the dynamics of range expansion is a major topic in ecology
both for invasive species extending their ranges into non‐native regions and for species …

When female fecundity is relatively independent of male abundance, while male
reproduction is proportional to female abundance, females have a larger effect on …

Although dispersal requires context‐dependent decision‐making in three distinct stages
(emigration, transit, immigration), these decisions are commonly ignored in simple models of …

Dispersal is a key component of life history that influences individual fitness, population
dynamics and range expansion. Morphological traits that are functionally related to dispersal …

Individuals at the leading edge of a biological invasion experience novel evolutionary
pressures on mating systems, due to low population densities coupled with tradeoffs …

Increasing interest is directed on understanding how individuals utilize information to come
to dispersal decisions. We assume individuals base emigration decisions on male and …

Theory is a critical component of the biological research process, and complements
observational and experimental approaches. However, most biologists receive little training …

Costly heterospecific mating interactions, such as hybridization, select for prezygotic
reproductive isolation. One of the potential traits responding to the selection arising from …
