Knowledge of the ecological and evolutionary causes of dispersal can be crucial in
understanding the behaviour of spatially structured populations, and predicting how species …

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 …

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

▪ Abstract Models of seed dispersal—a key process in plant spatial dynamics—have played
a fundamental role in representing dispersal patterns, investigating dispersal processes …

Density‐dependent dispersal can be caused by various mechanisms, from competition
inducing individuals to emigrate (positive density‐dependence) to social crowding effects …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 229–236 Abstract Phytopathogens and herbivores induce plant
defences. Whereas there is evidence that some pathogens suppress these defences by …

The aim of these notes is to illustrate, largely by way of examples, how standard ecological
models can be put into an evolutionary perspective in order to gain insight in the role of …

Insect invasions, the establishment and spread of nonnative insects in new regions, can
have extensive economic and environmental consequences. Increased global connectivity …

Explanations for rapid species' range expansions have typically been purely ecological, with
little attention given to evolutionary processes. We tested predictions for the evolution of …

Spatial self‐structuring has been a focus of recent interest among evolutionary ecologists.
We review recent developments in the study of the interplay between spatial self‐structuring …
