Selection for migration modification
TLDR
It is shown that migration from a more favorable regime to a less favorable regime is selected against and the ramifications for general modifier theory are discussed.Abstract:
Simple models for the genetic control of the tendency to migrate are considered. It is shown that migration from a more favorable regime to a less favorable regime is selected against. The ramifications for general modifier theory are discussed.read more

The Evolution of Ecological Specialization
TL;DR: The evolution of "niche breadth" was a more popular topic in the evolutionary ecological literature of the 1960s and 1970s than it has been recently (109, 118, 120, 134, 155, 156) as mentioned in this paper.

Evolutionarily singular strategies and the adaptive growth and branching of the evolutionary tree
TL;DR: A haploid version of Levene's ‘soft selection’ model is developed as a specific example to demonstrate evolutionary dynamics and branching in monomorphic and polymorphic populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene flow and the limits to natural selection
TL;DR: The important role of migration in evolution is clarified, affecting spatial patterns, species ranges and adaptation to the environment; in particular, by emphasizing the crucial interaction between evolutionary and demographic processes.

How Does It Feel to Be Like a Rolling Stone? Ten Questions About Dispersal Evolution
TL;DR: This review proposes ten tentative answers to frequently asked questions about dispersal evolution, and examines methodological issues, model assumptions and predictions, and their relation to empirical data.

Skepticism towards santa rosalia, or why are there so few kinds of animals?
TL;DR: In a classic paper, Hutchinson (1959) set the tone for much of the ecological work done during the past 20 years by suggesting that ecologists try to explain the numbers of species of animals by explaining how the species could coexist.

Group Selection and Kin Selection
TL;DR: It is suggested that since behaviour favours the survival of the group and not of the individual it must have evolved by a process of group selection.

Application of method of small parameters to multi-niche population genetic models.

TL;DR: The most naive application of this perturbation theory would be to show that the qualitative and quantitative conclusions derived from models, such as the aforementioned model of Haldane, do indeed persist under small perturbations of the parameters in the model.
