Heritability and artificial selection on ambulatory dispersal distance in Tetranychus urticae: effects of density and maternal effects.
Dispersal distance is understudied although the evolution of dispersal distance affects the distribution of genetic diversity through space. Using the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, we tested the conditions under which dispersal distance could evolve. To this aim, we performed artific...
