Abstract excerpt
Dispersal is key to the life history, ecology and evolution of many organisms and important in pest invasiveness. However, the genetic architecture underlying variation in dispersal behaviour remains poorly understood outside of a few model species. We investigated the genomic basis of dispersal using artificial selection on replicated lines of Tribolium castaneum, a flour beetle, an emergent model system and an...
