N2 - The question of whether an offspring should migrate or stay near its parents is investigated in a model in which this decision is made by the offspring itself. Although migration is hazardous, the model presented here shows the existence of an optimal migration strategy which implies, under certain circumstances, a positive probability of choosing migration. Also briefly discussed is the relationship of the migration strategy to the parent-offspring conflict.
