Habitat fragmentation and global climate change are the two major
environmental threats to the persistence of species and ecosystems.
The probability of a species surviving such changes is strongly
dependent on its ability to track shifts in the environmental,
either by moving between patches of habitat or by rapidly adapting
to local condition. These 'solutions' to problems posed by
environmental change depend on dispersal propensity, motivating our
desire to better understand this important behavior. This book is a
comprehensive overview of the new developments in the study of
dispersal and the state-of-the-art research on the evolution of
this trait. The causes, mechanisms, and consequences of dispersal
at the individual, population, and species levels are considered.
The promise of new techniques and models for studying dispersal,
drawn from molecular biology and demography is explored.
Perspectives on the study of dispersal are offered from evolution,
conservation biology, and genetics. Throughout the book,
theoretical approaches are combined with empirical data, and
examples are included from as wide a range of species as possible.
