Competition and dispersal delays in patchy environments.

Dispersal delays are introduced into a competition model for two species that disperse among n identical patches. The model is formulated as a system of integro-differential equations with an arbitrary distribution of dispersal times between patches. By identifying steady states and analyzing local stability, conditions for competitive exclusion, coexistence or extinction are determined in term...

Survival in patchy landscapes: the interplay between dispersal, habitat loss and fragmentation

Habitat loss and fragmentation are important factors determining animal population dynamics and spatial distribution. Such landscape changes can lead to the deleterious impact of a significant drop in the number of species, caused by critically reduced survival rates for organisms. In order to obtain a deeper understanding of the threeway interplay between habitat loss, fragmentation and surviv...

'Heritability' of dispersal propensity in a patchy population.

Although dispersal is often considered to be a plastic, condition-dependent trait with low heritability, growing evidence supports medium to high levels of dispersal heritability. Obtaining unbiased estimates of dispersal heritability in natural populations nevertheless remains crucial to understand the evolution of dispersal strategies and their population consequences. Here we show that dispe...

On the Evolution of Dispersal in Patchy Landscapes

To better understand the evolution of dispersal in spatially heterogenous landscapes, we study difference equation models of populations that reproduce and disperse in a landscape consisting of k patches. The connectivity of the patches and costs of dispersal are determined by a k × k column substochastic matrix S where Sij represents the fraction of dispersing individuals from patch j that end...

Dispersal Timing: Emigration of Insects Living in Patchy Environments

Dispersal is a life-history trait affecting dynamics and persistence of populations; it evolves under various known selective pressures. Theoretical studies on dispersal typically assume 'natal dispersal', where individuals emigrate right after birth. But emigration may also occur during a later moment within a reproductive season ('breeding dispersal'). For example, some female butterflies fir...
