This review proposes ten tentative answers to frequently asked questions about dispersal
evolution. I examine methodological issues, model assumptions and predictions, and their …

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 …

Various approaches have been developed to evaluate the consequences of spatial structure
on evolution in subdivided populations. This book is both a review and new synthesis of …

Sex‐biased dispersal is an almost ubiquitous feature of mammalian life history, but the
evolutionary causes behind these patterns still require much clarification. A quarter of a …

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

Using game theory, we developed a kin-selection model to investigate the consequences of
local competition and inbreeding depression on the evolution of natal dispersal. Mating …

These Notes grew from my research in evolutionary biology, specifically on the theory of
evolutionarily stable strategies (ESS theory), over the past ten years. Personally …

Dispersal is often presented as a mechanism to avoid competition among relatives and
inbreeding depression. However, the formal analysis of the effects of both these factors on …

Using a game-theoretical approach, we investigate the dispersal patterns expected if
inbreeding avoidance were the only reason for dispersal. The evolutionary outcome is …

Philopatry in migratory species can apply to any location used during the annual cycle. The
degree of philopatry influences the genetic structure of populations, but only at the stage of …
