Competition between organisms influences the processes governing the colonization of new habitats. As a consequence, species or populations arriving first at a suitable location may prevent secondary
Understanding the interplay of dispersal and how it translates into gene flow is key to understanding population processes, and especially so for endangered species occupying fragmented habitats. In m
aThe search area dimensions are based on expert opinion and chosen (along with the natal KDIST parameter values) to produce dispersal kernels matching, as closely as possible, reported natal dispersal
