Impact of genotype-dependent dispersal on mutation fixation in subdivided populations.

Abstract excerpt

In the wild, every population exhibits a certain degree of spatial structure. Some populations are subdivided into demes, between which individuals may disperse. Dispersal ability is influenced by certain mutations, which can also affect vital traits such as birth and death rates. To quantify the impact of population subdivision on the evolutionary dynamics of such mutations, we derive their fixation probability...
