Abstract

The question of progeny division into dispersed and non-dispersed descendants is investigated in several diploid models. For each of these models, in which the division of the progeny is determined by the genotype of the parent, a single optimal strategy of dispersal has been found. Although dispersal involves a risk to the dispersed offspring, the optimal strategy implies that a substantial fraction of the progeny should be dispersed.
