Cooperative investments in social dilemmas can spontaneously diversify into stably
coexisting high and low contributors in well-mixed populations. Here we extend the analysis …

How do mutation and gene flow influence population persistence, niche expansion and
local adaptation in spatially heterogeneous environments? In this article, we analyse a …

Disentangling proximate and ultimate factors of dispersal and assessing their relative effects
requires an appropriate measure of fitness. Yet there have been few theoretical attempts to …

The structure of social interactions influences many aspects of social life, including the
spread of information and behavior, and the evolution of social phenotypes. After dispersal …

The interplay between the spatial dynamics of range expansion and evolutionary processes
is receiving considerable attention. Recent theory has demonstrated that mutations …

Organisms in highly suitable sites generally produce more offspring, and offspring can
inherit this suitability by not dispersing far. This combination of spatial selection and spatial …

Spatial structure can decisively influence the way evolutionary processes unfold. To date,
several methods have been used to study evolution in spatial systems, including population …

In spatially heterogeneous environments, the processes of gene flow, mutation, and sexual
reproduction generate local genetic variation and thus provide material for local adaptation …

In patch-or habitat-structured populations, different processes can favor adaptive
polymorphism at different scales. While spatial heterogeneity can generate spatially …

Research has shown that spatial selection can lead to the evolution of cooperation in social
dilemmas. However, the effectiveness of spatial reciprocity among cooperative players is …
