Ecology and evolution unfold in spatially structured communities, where dispersal links
dynamics across scales. Because dispersal is multicausal, identifying general drivers …

Dispersal is a central biological process tightly integrated into life‐histories, morphology,
physiology and behaviour. Such associations, or syndromes, are anticipated to impact the …

Context-dependent dispersal allows organisms to seek and settle in habitats improving their
fitness. Despite the importance of species interactions in determining fitness, a quantitative …

Theoretical studies on the evolution of dispersal in metacommunities are rare despite
empirical evidence suggesting that interspecific interactions can modify dispersal behaviour …

Selection and dispersal are ecological processes that have contrasting roles in the
assembly of communities. Variable selection diversifies and strong dispersal homogenizes …

Research on the interactions between evolutionary and ecological dynamics has largely
focused on local spatial scales and on relatively simple ecological communities. However …

Dispersal is simply defined as the movement of species across space and time. Despite this
terse definition, dispersal is an essential process with direct ecological and evolutionary …

Dispersal is not a blind process, and evidence is accumulating that individual dispersal
strategies are informed in most, if not all, organisms. The acquisition and use of information …

Dispersal has long been recognized as a mechanism that shapes many observed
ecological and evolutionary processes. Thus, understanding the factors that promote its …

The importance of dispersal rates and distances has long been appreciated by ecologists
and evolutionary biologists. An emerging field of research is revealing how temporal …
