Animals reproducing sexually are faced with a dilemma. They can mate in the local area where they were born, but must then take the risk that they will mate with a close relative and produce offspring suffering from inbreeding depression. Or they can migrate to a new area and mate with an unrelated animal, but then there is a chance that they will die or lose valuable reproductive time during the migration.
This dilemma is here described by some simple models. The condition for spreading of a new reproductive strategy in a population is given. The results are discussed using data from the Great Tit, Man and the Japanese Quail on the effect of inbreeding.
