Results of simulations for the two costs of dispersal c = 0.2 and 0.7 in populations with nd = 10 demes are shown. In the top, ES rates without genetic load (Ds=0) are compared with the theoretical expectations (DESS). The middle and bottom show the ES dispersal rates with genetic load (Ds≠0) for the mild mutations (s = 0.01 and 0.05) as a function of deme size (N) and dominance coefficient (h) and for the lethal mutations (s = 1 and h = 0.02) as a function of the genomic mutation rate (U). Values in parentheses are standard deviations over 100 replicates. Dashes (—) represent populations that crashed before 2000 generations.
