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

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

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 …

Summary 1 I synthesize the understanding of the relationship between landscape structure
and animal movement in human‐modified landscapes. 2 The variety of landscape structures …

Sex‐biased dispersal is an almost ubiquitous feature of mammalian life history, but the
evolutionary causes behind these patterns still require much clarification. A quarter of a …

Dispersal is central in ecology and evolution because it influences population regulation,
adaptation, and speciation. In many species, dispersal is different between genders, leading …

Species' range expansions in response to climate change, and the invasion of exotic
organisms, are two of the most pressing issues in ecology. Range expansions have already …

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 …

Understanding the causes and consequences of dispersal remains a central topic in
ecology and evolution. However, a mismatch exists between our empirical understanding of …

Dispersal is one of the principal mechanisms influencing ecological and evolutionary
processes but quantitative empirical data are unfortunately scarce. As dispersal is likely to …
