In this paper, we develop a general method to determine evolutionary equilibrium sex ratios and to check evolutionary stability, continuous stability and invadability in exact genetic models with or without dominance. This method is then applied to three kinds of models for structured populations: the first one concerns Hamilton's LMC model except that only a fraction beta of female offspring mate with male offspring born in the same colonies, while a fraction 1 - beta mate with male offspring chosen at random within the whole population; in the second model, it is assumed that partial dispersal of inseminated females occurs after mating; in the third model, partial dispersal of male and female offspring occurs before mating. In the first model, the effect of population regulation is studied while, in the other models, two kinds of dispersal are considered: proportional and uniform. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
