DESCRIPTION:Organisms reproduce in environments that change in both time a
 nd space. Even if an individual currently resides in a region that is typi
 cally quite favorable\, it may be optimal for it to ``not put all its eggs
  in the one basket'' and disperse some of its offspring to locations that 
 are usually less favorable to cover the possibility that the effect of poo
 r conditions in one place will be fortuitously offset by good conditions i
 n another. I will describe joint work with Peter Ralph and Sebastian Schre
 iber from Evolution and Ecology at U.C. Davis and Arnab Sen from Statistic
 s at U.C. Berkeley that uses stochastic differential equations to explore 
 the usefulness of such dispersal strategies.
