- A comprehensive and cross-taxonomic review of dispersal written by leading researchers in the field
- Proposes a new framework for understanding the evolution of dispersal
- Surveys and assesses the new genetic and demographic techniques that can be used to study dispersal
The ability of species to migrate that has interested ecologists for many years. Now that so many species and ecosystems face major environmental change, the ability of species to adapt to these changes by dispersing, migrating, or moving between different patches of habitat can be crucial to ensuring their survivial. This book provides a timely and wide-ranging overview of the study of dispersal and incorporates much of the latest research. The causes, mechanisms, and consequences of dispersal at the individual, population, species and community levels are considered. The potential of new techniques and models for
studying dispersal, drawn from molecular biology and demography, is also explored. Perspectives and insights are offered from the fields of evolution, conservation biology and genetics. Throughout the book, theoretical approaches are combined with empirical data, and care has been taken to include examples from as wide a range of species as possible.Readership: Researchers and postgraduate students in ecology, animal behaviour, evolution, and conservation.
