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 a life history trait that, viewed from both an ecological and a genetic perspective,
has profound effects on populations. Dispersal is a demographic process that needs to be …

Using a simple two-patch model, we examine how patterns of spatial and temporal variation
in carrying capacities affect natural selection on dispersal. The size of the population in each …

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 …

Influences of ant behavior on short—and long—term fate of elaiosome—bearing seeds were
investigated in fire—prone sclerophyll vegetation neary Sydney, New South Wales. The …

As anthropogenic environmental changes spread and intensify across the planet,
conservation biologists have to analyze dynamics at large spatial and temporal scales …

ESS germination strategies are studied in a model of annual plant population dynamics in a
randomly varying environment. The possible strategies are different values of the annual …

A series of papers, Hamilton & May (1977), Motro, 1982, Motro, 1983 and Frank (1986) have
developed and generalized a model of dispersal of offspring to random sites in a stable …

Wing dimorphism occurs commonly among many species of insects. This dimorphism is
hypothesized to be maintained by a trade-off between the costs of being macropterous …
