Abstract

The decision to move between patches in the environment is among the most important life history choices an organism can make. I derive a new density dependent dispersal rule, and examine how dispersal decisions based on avoiding fitness loss associated with an Allee effect or competitive effects im...

The results are sensitive to the number of patches available in the environment and suggest that dispersal to avoid an Allee effect will only arise under biologically plausible conditions, i.e. where there is a limit to the number of dispersal attempts that can be made between generations.
