Budding dispersal and the sex ratio.
There is much interest in understanding how population demography impacts upon social evolution. Here, we consider the impact of rate and pattern of dispersal upon a classic social evolutionary trait--the sex ratio. We recover existing analytical results for individual dispersal, and we extend these to allow for budding dispersal. In particular, while a cancelling of relatedness and kin competi...
متن کاملSex ratio dependent dispersal when sex ratios vary between patches.
Female biased sex ratios reduce competition between brothers when mating takes place within local patches. Male dispersal prior to mating is another strategy that reduces competition between brothers. One may thus expect these two traits to co-evolve and this is partially met in that sex ratios becomes less female biased as dispersal increases. However, the evolutionary stable degree of dispers...
متن کاملKin selection models for the co-evolution of the sex ratio and sex-specific dispersal
We investigate the co-evolutionary relationship between sex-ratio bias and sex-specific dispersal behaviour using an inclusive fitness approach. We consider two models: (i) DDM, in which dispersal of both sexes occurs before mating; and (ii) DMD, in which male dispersal precedes mating and female dispersal follows mating. Under DDM, at equilibrium, there is no bias in either the sex ratio or th...
متن کاملLimited dispersal, budding dispersal, and cooperation: an experimental study.
Numerous theoretical studies have investigated how limited dispersal may provide an explanation for the evolution of cooperation, by leading to interactions between relatives. However, despite considerable theoretical attention, there has been a lack of empirical tests. In this article, we test how patterns of dispersal influence the evolution of cooperation, using iron-scavenging in the bacter...
متن کاملClimate Influences Fledgling Sex Ratio and Sex-Specific Dispersal in a Seabird
Climate influences the dynamics of natural populations by direct effects over habitat quality but also modulating the phenotypic responses of organisms' life-history traits. These responses may be different in males and females, particularly in dimorphic species, due to sex-specific requirements or constraints. Here, in a coastal seabird, the European shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis), we studie...
