The method is based on the expected spatial distributions of lineages arising under a multigeneration random walk process. Unlike previous methods based on the predicted equilibria between genetic drift and gene flow, this approach is appropriate for non-equilibrium conditions, and yields an estimate of dispersal distance rather than dispersal rate. The theoretical basis for this method is examined, and an analysis of mtDNA restriction site data for Peromyscus maniculatus is presented as an example of how this approach can be applied to empirical data.
