Despite its practical application in conservation biology and evolutionary theory, the cost of
inbreeding in natural populations of plants and animals remains to a large degree unknown …

Dispersal is a life history trait that, viewed from both an ecological and a genetic perspective,
has profound effects on populations. Dispersal is a demographic process that needs to be …

Density‐dependent dispersal can be caused by various mechanisms, from competition
inducing individuals to emigrate (positive density‐dependence) to social crowding effects …

Natal dispersal is a process that is critical in the spatial dynamics of populations, including
population spread, recolonization, and gene flow. It is a central focus of conservation issues …

In The Black-Tailed Prairie Dog, John L. Hoogland draws on sixteen years of research at
Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, in the United States to provide this account of …

We reviewed the avian literature for quantitative studies of sex biases in dispersal and found
continued and strengthened support for the general pattern of female biased dispersal …

The evolution of cooperation among animals has posed a major problem for evolutionary
biologists, and despite decades of research into avian cooperative breeding systems, many …

I calculate probabilities of quasi‐extinction of natural populations from time series of census
data or estimated abundance. The results depend sensitively upon estimated parameters …

The importance of dispersal for population genetics, population dynamics, and conservation
biology is well established. We studied natal dispersal of Great Tits between Wytham Wood …

The degree of natal philopatry (the likelihood that individuals breed at or near their place of
origin) can influence the extent of inbreeding in animal populations. Passerine birds have …
