Tracking repeat spawning anadromous fish migrations over multiple years in a fragmented river suggests philopatry and sex-linked variation in space use
There is limited knowledge of how philopatry influences the spatial ecology of iteroparous anadromous species during their spawning migrations, but...

Female philopatry and unsuccessful male dispersal of a top predator in a human-modified landscape revealed by relatedness analysis
Habitat loss and fragmentation threaten population persistence because they affect the ability of individuals to disperse between remaining patches...

How might magnetic secular variation impact avian philopatry?
A tendency to return to the natal/breeding site, ‘philopatry’, is widespread amongst migratory birds. It has been suggested that a magnetic ‘map’...

Regional philopatry of scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) to nursery areas in the Mexican Pacific
The population genetic structure and female philopatry to nursery grounds of the scalloped hammerhead shark ( Sphyrna lewini ) were studied in...

Dispersal and philopatry in Central European Red Kites Milvus milvus
In a study of the extent and timing of Red Kite Milvus milvus dispersal movements from Central Europe (Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia)...

High philopatry rates of Yellow-legged Gulls in the southeastern part of the Bay of Biscay
BackgroundPhilopatry rate is one of the main factors sha** population dynamics in colonial seabirds. Low rates of philopatry are linked to...

Stabilization and optimization of host-microbe-environment interactions as a potential reason for the behavior of natal philopatry
Many animals engage in a behavior known as natal philopatry, where after sexual maturity they return to their own birthplaces for subsequent...

Genetic Consequences of Dispersal, Philopatry and Reproductive Behaviors
Otariid behaviors, such as decisions to disperse or return to breed at the natal site and certain reproductive behaviors, when repeated over...

Multi-year movements of adult and subadult bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas): philopatry, connectivity, and environmental influences
Understanding the movement ecology of marine species is important for conservation management and monitoring their responses to environmental change....

Cross-continental test of natal philopatry and habitat-imprinting hypotheses to explain host specificity in an obligate brood parasite
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms responsible for maintenance of host-specific gentes in the common cuckoo ( Cuculus...

Home range establishment and the mechanisms of philopatry among female Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) at Tuanan
AbstractFemale orangutans exhibit natal philopatry, living in stable home ranges that overlap with those of their maternal relatives. Using data...

Social and Reproductive Behaviors
Sirenian social and reproductive behaviors lack much complexity or diversity. Whereas sirenians are usually sighted as solitary, or as cows with...

Life History Parameters, Sociobiology, and Reproductive Strategies of Pilot Whales
Two species of pilot whales are globally distributed, the long-finned (Globicephala melas) in cold-temperate waters and the short-finned (G....

Movement, Habitat Selection, and Home Range of American Marsupials
Mammal movements and home ranges are highly influenced by endogenous and exogenous factors. In this chapter, the factors driving the movement,...

Habitat quality affects the social organization in mouse lemurs (Microcebus griseorufus)
AbstractSpecies can either maintain a certain social organization in different habitats or show different social organizations in similar habitats....

Whole mitochondrial genome sequencing provides new insights into the phylogeography of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea
Population structure and phylogeography of the loggerhead sea turtle ( Caretta caretta ) have so far been assessed mainly by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)...

Long-distance migrations and seasonal movements of meagre (Argyrosomus regius), a large coastal predator, along the Iberian Peninsula coast
BackgroundThe meagre, Argyrosomus regius , is a large coastal predatory fish inhabiting waters from the north-eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea,...

Reproductive timing as an explanation for skewed parentage assignment ratio in a bisexually philopatric population
AbstractIn mammals, reproductive success can often be directly observed for females, but not males. Early-life correlates of female reproductive...

Nest site tenacity and mate fidelity in the Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)
Breeding philopatry is well known in the Black-headed Gull ( Chroicocephalus ridibundus ). Using a capture-mark-recapture method, we studied if...
