Project description
The project aims to study how conditional movement and local demographics determine the eco-evolutionary dynamics of spatially structured populations. It will integrate advanced conditional movement ecology and state-of-the-art size structured population theory with spatial population ecology and life history trait evolution. The research program will combine individual level measurements, multi-generational population and selection experiments, common garden assays and mathematical modelling.
