Dispersal simulations can reconstruct the observed distribution of geographic distances between related pairs.

<p>Simulated (gray line) and observed (colored histograms) dispersal values for full-sibling, aunt/uncle-nibling, first cousin, and second cousin comparisons. Male-male comparisons are shown in blue, male-female comparisons in purple, and female-female comparisons in salmon. Median values for the simulated (gray) and observed (colored) distributions are indicated by arrows above each plot. Simulated distributions that were significantly different from the observed distribution using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test are marked with asterisks above the median arrows.
