Integrating across life-history stages: consequences of natal habitat effects on dispersal.

摘要: Ecological and evolutionary processes are affected by forces acting at both local regional scales, yet our understanding of how these scales interact has remained limited. These fundamentally linked through individuals that develop as juveniles in one environment then either remain the natal habitat or disperse to new environments. Empirical studies a diverse range organisms have demonstrated conditions experienced can profound effects on adult phenotype. This environmentally induced phenotypic variation turn affect probability an individual will ecological impact environment. We synthesize literature this process propose framework for exploring linkage between developmental dispersal. discuss implications dispersal asymmetries generated phenotypes. Our review indicates influence phenotypes may be highly general mechanism affecting flow populations. The wealth information already gathered phenotype should integrated into study critical force ecology evolution.
