Phenotypic evolution of dispersal-enhancing traits in insular voles.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jan 2011

Forsman Anders, Merilä Juha, Ebenhard Torbjörn

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary theory predicts that in metapopulations subject to rapid extinction-recolonization dynamics, natural selection should favour evolution of traits that enhance dispersal and recolonization ability. Metapopulations of field voles (Microtus agrestis) on islands in the Stockholm archipelago, Sweden, are characterized by frequent local extinction and recolonization of subpopulations. Here, we show that...
