Ecological changes in the phenology and distribution of plants and animals are occurring in
all well-studied marine, freshwater, and terrestrial groups. These observed changes are …

Dispersal costs can be classified into energetic, time, risk and opportunity costs and may be
levied directly or deferred during departure, transfer and settlement. They may equally be …

There is accumulating evidence that individuals leave their natal area and select a breeding
habitat non‐randomly by relying upon information about their natal and future breeding …

This review proposes ten tentative answers to frequently asked questions about dispersal
evolution. I examine methodological issues, model assumptions and predictions, and their …

Detailed observation of the movement of individual animals offers the potential to
understand spatial population processes as the ultimate consequence of individual …

The initial response of individuals to human‐induced environmental change is often
behavioural. This can improve the performance of individuals under sudden, large‐scale …

Summary 1 I synthesize the understanding of the relationship between landscape structure
and animal movement in human‐modified landscapes. 2 The variety of landscape structures …

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 …

Landscape connectivity can be viewed from two perspectives that could be considered as
extremes of a gradient: functional connectivity (refers to how the behavior of a dispersing …

We present a de novo assembly of a eukaryote transcriptome using 454 pyrosequencing
data. The Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia; Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) is a …
