Strategies of offspring investment and dispersal in a spatially structured environment: a theoretical study using ants
BACKGROUND: Offspring investment strategies vary markedly between and within taxa, and much of this variation is thought to stem from the trade-off between offspring size and number. While producing larger offspring can increase their competitive ability, this often comes at a cost to their coloniza...
