How much can parentage analyses tell us about precapture dispersal?

Abstract excerpt

Estimating rates of movement among populations is never simple, and where young animals cannot all be captured at their birth sites, traditional field methods potentially underestimate dispersal rates. Genetic assignment tests appear to hold promise for detecting 'precapture' dispersal, and recent evidence suggests that even on the scale of dispersal between populations, genetic parentage analyses can also be...
