Abstract

The problem of how an individual should divide its progeny into dispersed and non-dispersed descendants is investigated for a number of haploid models. In each model, a unique optimal ratio of dispersed to non-dispersed has been found, where the type with this optimal strategy has a selective advantage over all other types. Although the survival ability of a dispersed offspring is reduced (compared to that of a non-dispersed offspring), the optimal strategy implies that a substantial part of the progeny will be dispersed.
