Abstract Vagrancy is the occurrence of individuals outside the normal geographic range of their species. These rare and unpredictable events have long been neglected by the scientific community, belying a growing body of evidence that vagrancy can have an important role in eco-evolutionary processes at both population and community scales.

Simulating dispersal within a migratory population We created an individual-based model representing a sexually reproducing population that performs a linear migration between two equally sized seasonal ranges (see Supporting information for full details). Simulated populations have a 50/50 sex ratio and a starting size of 10 000 individuals, with non-overlapping generations (i.e. each individual survives only one migratory cycle).
