An evolutionary process that assembles phenotypes through space rather than through time.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 5 Apr 2011

Shine Richard, Brown Gregory P, Phillips Benjamin L

Abstract excerpt

In classical evolutionary theory, traits evolve because they facilitate organismal survival and/or reproduction. We discuss a different type of evolutionary mechanism that relies upon differential dispersal. Traits that enhance rates of dispersal inevitably accumulate at expanding range edges, and assortative mating between fast-dispersing individuals at the invasion front results in an evolutionary increase in...
