Dispersal is one of the most fundamental components of ecology, and affects processes as
diverse as population growth, metapopulation dynamics, gene flow and adaptation …

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

There is accumulating evidence that individuals leave their natal area and select a breeding
habitat non‐randomly by relying upon information about their natal and future breeding …

Ecological invasions, where non-native species spread to new areas, grow to high densities
and have large, negative impacts on ecological communities, are a major worldwide …

The genetic evolution of altruism (ie, a behavior resulting in a net reduction of the survival
and/or reproduction of an actor to benefit a recipient) once perplexed biologists because it …

According to Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan [1651; 2008 (Touchstone, New York), English
Ed],“the life of man [is] solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short,” and it would need powerful …

Animal personalities are common across taxa and have important evolutionary and
ecological implications. Such consistent individual differences correlate with important life …

The evolution of cooperative breeding has been traditionally attributed to the effect of kin
selection. While there is increasing empirical evidence that direct fitness benefits are …

We explore the minimal conditions for sustainable cooperation on a spatially distributed
population of memoryless, unconditional strategies (cooperators and defectors) in presence …

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 …
