Dispersal: Risk Spreading versus Local Adaptation

Abstract
I investigate how risk spreading in stochastic environments and adaptation to permanent properties of local habitats interplay in the simultaneous evolution of dispersal and habitat specialization. In a simple two-patch model, I find many types of locally evolutionarily stable attractors of dispersal and of a trait involved in habitat specialization, including a single habitat specialist and a coalition of two specialists with low dispersal, a generalist with high dispersal, and several types of dispersal polymorphisms. In general, only one attractor is a global evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). In addition to the ESS analysis, I also present some examples of the dynamics of evolution that exhibit adaptive diversification by evolutionary branching.
