The physiology of movement

S Goossens, N Wybouw, T Van Leeuwen, D Bonte - Movement Ecology, 2020 - Springer
Movement, from foraging to migration, is known to be under the influence of the
environment. The translation of environmental cues to individual movement decision making …

Experimental evolution of dispersal: Unifying theory, experiments and natural systems

N Lustenhouwer, F Moerman, F Altermatt… - Journal of Animal …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Dispersal is a central life history trait that affects the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities. The recent use of experimental evolution for the study of …

Social polymorphism is favoured by the co-evolution of dispersal with social behaviour

C Mullon, L Keller, L Lehmann - Nature ecology & evolution, 2018 - nature.com
Dispersal determines gene flow among groups in a population and so plays a major role in
many ecological and evolutionary processes. As gene flow shapes kin structure, dispersal is …

Disentangling the mechanisms linking dispersal and sociality in supergene-mediated ant social forms

A Fontcuberta, O De Gasperin… - … of the Royal …, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The coevolution between dispersal and sociality can lead to linked polymorphisms in both
traits, which may favour the emergence of supergenes. Supergenes have recently been …

Dispersal and life history of brown widow spiders in dated invasive populations on two continents

MA Mowery, Y Lubin, A Harari, AC Mason… - Animal Behaviour, 2022 - Elsevier
Theory and empirical work suggest that behaviours such as dispersal and exploration are
predictors of invasive success, and that behaviours may shift predictably after invasive …

Sex differences in dispersal syndrome are modulated by environment and evolution

A Mishra, S Tung, PM Shreenidhi… - … of the Royal …, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Dispersal syndromes (ie suites of phenotypic correlates of dispersal) are potentially
important determinants of local adaptation in populations. Species that exhibit sexual …

Mate‐finding dispersal reduces local mate limitation and sex bias in dispersal

A Mishra, S Tung, VR Shree Sruti… - Journal of Animal …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Sex‐biased dispersal (SBD) often skews the local sex ratio in a population. This can result in
a shortage of mates for individuals of the less‐dispersive sex. Such mate limitation can lead …

The influence of infection status and parasitism risk on host dispersal and susceptibility to infection in Drosophila nigrospiracula

T Brophy, LT Luong - Parasitology, 2022 - cambridge.org
For many organisms, habitat avoidance provides the first line of defence against parasitic
infection. Changes in infection status can shift the cost-benefit ratio of remaining in a given …

Experiments confirm a dispersive phenotype associated with a natural gene drive system

JN Runge, AK Lindholm - Royal Society Open Science, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Meiotic drivers are genetic entities that increase their own probability of being transmitted to
offspring, usually to the detriment of the rest of the organism, thus 'selfishly'increasing their …

Tracking dispersal across a patchy landscape reveals a dynamic interaction between genotype and habitat structure

AH Edelsparre, MJ Fitzpatrick, MA Rodríguez… - Oikos, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Theoretical and empirical studies often show that within populations, individuals vary in their
propensity to disperse. We aspired to understand how this behavioural variation is impacted …
