2. Animals with optimal foraging strategies will have more available energy with which to survive and reproduce.

Migration

Change in the allelic frequencies is the influx of genes from other populations, commonly called migration or gene flow

Amount of change in allelic frequency due to migration

m= proportional of migratory individual in  recipient population

qI – frequency of allele in source population  

qII – frequency of allele in recipient population
