Organisms have colonized virtually all types of life-sustaining habitats on our planet resulting in the extraordinary distribution and diversity of life existing today as well as in the past. Elucidating the genetic and environmental contributions to dispersal is important to advance our understanding of how such factors influence the distribution of species and communities. In my thesis, I advanced this understanding by examining adult dispersal in Drosophila melanogaster in strains known to differ in larval foraging behaviour. In the first part of my thesis, I investigated strains of Drosophila melanogaster that are naturally polymorphic in larval foraging behaviour. This polymorphism is mainly due to allelic variation at the foraging (fo...
