Evolution of density- and patch-size-dependent dispersal rates.
Based on a marginal value approach, we derive a nonlinear expression for evolutionarily stable (ES) dispersal rates in a metapopulation with global dispersal. For the general case of density-dependent population growth, our analysis shows that individual dispersal rates should decrease with patch capacity and-beyond a certain threshold-increase with population density. We performed a number of ...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Slow Dispersal Rates: a Reaction Diffusion Model
We consider n phenotypes of a species in a continuous but heterogeneous environment. It is assumed that the phenotypes diier only in their diiusion rates. With haploid genetics and a small rate of mutation, it is shown that the only nontrivial equilibrium is a population dominated by the slowest diiusing phenotype. We also prove that if there are only two possible phenotypes, then this equilibr...
متن کاملEvolution of dispersal distance.
The problem of how often to disperse in a randomly fluctuating environment has long been investigated, primarily using patch models with uniform dispersal. Here, we consider the problem of choice of seed size for plants in a stable environment when there is a trade off between survivability and dispersal range. Ezoe (J Theor Biol 190:287-293, 1998) and Levin and Muller-Landau (Evol Ecol Res 2:4...
متن کاملEvolution of dispersal toward fitness.
It is widely believed that the slowest dispersal strategy is selected in the evolutional if the environment is temporally invariant but spatially heterogeneous. Authors claim in this paper that this belief is true only if random dispersals with constant motility are considered. However, if a dispersal strategy with fitness property is included, the size of the dispersal is not such a crucial fa...
متن کاملEvolutionary consequences of asymmetric dispersal rates.
We study the consequences of asymmetric dispersal rates (e.g., due to wind or current) for adaptive evolution in a system of two habitat patches. Asymmetric dispersal rates can lead to overcrowding of the "downstream" habitat, resulting in a source-sink population structure in the absence of intrinsic quality differences between habitats or can even cause an intrinsically better habitat to func...
