text: 'Understanding the evolution of dispersal is essential for understanding and
predicting the dynamics of natural populations. Two main factors are known to
influence dispersal evolution: spatio-temporal variation in the environment and
relatedness between individuals. However, the relation between these factors is
still poorly understood, and they are usually treated separately. In this article,
I present a theoretical framework that contains and connects effects of both environmental
variation and relatedness, and reproduces and extends their known features. Spatial
habitat variation selects for balanced dispersal strategies, whereby the population
is kept at an ideal free distribution. Within this class of dispersal strategies,
I explain how increased dispersal is promoted by perturbations to the dispersal
type frequencies. An explicit formula shows the magnitude of the selective advantage
of increased dispersal in terms of the spatial variability in the frequencies
of the different dispersal strategies present. These variances are capable of
capturing various sources of stochasticity and hence establish a common scale
for their effects on the evolution of dispersal. The results furthermore indicate
an alternative approach to identifying effects of relatedness on dispersal evolution.'
