Evolution of positive and negative density-dependent dispersal.
Understanding the evolution of density-dependent dispersal strategies has been a major challenge for evolutionary ecologists. Some existing models suggest that selection should favour positive and others negative density-dependence in dispersal. Here, we develop a general model that shows how and why selection may shift from positive to negative density-dependence in response to key ecological ...
متن کاملEvolution of complex density-dependent dispersal strategies.
The question of how dispersal behavior is adaptive and how it responds to changes in selection pressure is more relevant than ever, as anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change accelerate around the world. In metapopulation models where local populations are large, and thus local population size is measured in densities, density-dependent dispersal is expected to evolve to a single-th...
متن کاملEvolution 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 کاملEvolutionarily Stable Density-Dependent Dispersal
An ab-initio numerical study of the density-dependent, evolutionary stable dispersal strategy is presented. The simulations are based on a simple discretei generation island model with four processes: reproduction, dispersal, competition and local catastrophe. We do not impose any a priori constraints on the dispersal schedule, allowing the entire schedule to evolve. We find that the system con...
متن کاملDensity-dependent dispersal and population aggregation patterns.
We have derived reaction-dispersal-aggregation equations from Markovian reaction-random walks with density-dependent jump rate or density-dependent dispersal kernels. From the corresponding diffusion limit we recover well-known reaction-diffusion-aggregation and reaction-diffusion-advection-aggregation equations. It is found that the ratio between the reaction and jump rates controls the onset ...
