Evolution driven by differential dispersal within a wild bird population.

Nature - 6 Jan 2005

Garant Dany, Kruuk Loeske E B, Wilkin Teddy A, McCleery Robin H, Sheldon Ben C

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary theory predicts that local population divergence will depend on the balance between the diversifying effect of selection and the homogenizing effect of gene flow. However, spatial variation in the expression of genetic variation will also generate differential evolutionary responses. Furthermore, if dispersal is non-random it may actually reinforce, rather than counteract, evolutionary...
