All animal and plant species must disperse in order to survive. Although this fact may seem trivial, and the importance of the dispersal process is generally accepted, the eco-evolutionary forces influencing dispersal, and the underlying movement elements, are far from being comprehensively understood. Beginning in the 1950s scientists became aware of the central role of dispersal behaviour and landscape connectivity for population viability and species diversity. Subsequently, dispersal has mainly been studied in the context of metapopulations. This has allowed researchers to take into account the landscape level, e.g. for determining conservation measures. However, a majority of theses studies classically did not include dispersal evoluti...
