Abstract:Dispersal is fundamental to life on our planet. Dispersal facilitates colonization of continents and islands. Dispersal mediates gene flow among populations, and influences the rate of spread of invasive species. Theory suggests that individuals consistently differ in dispersal propensity, however determining the relative contributions of environmental factors to individual and population-level dispersal, represent a major challenge to understand the spread of organisms. To address this, we conducted a field e… Show more
