Prospecting and informed dispersal: Understanding and predicting their joint eco‐evolutionary dynamics

Abstract The ability of individuals to leave a current breeding area and select a future one is important, because such decisions can have multiple consequences for individual fitness, but also for metapopulation dynamics, structure, and long‐term persistence through non‐random dispersal patterns.
