Home‐site fidelity and homing behavior of the big‐headed turtle Platysternon megacephalum [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Site fidelity refers to the restriction of dispersal distance of an animal and its tendency to return to a stationary site. To our knowledge, the homing ability of freshwater turtles and their fidelity is reportedly very low in Asia.

The Influence of Social Parameters on the Homing Behavior of Pigeons. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Homing pigeons develop preferred routes when released alone several times from the same site, but they sometimes diverge from their preferred route when subsequently released with another pigeon.

A GPS assisted translocation experiment to study the homing behavior of red deer [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Many animals return to their home areas (i.e., ‘homing’) after translocation to sites further away. Such translocations have traditionally been used in behavioral ecology to understand the orientation and migration behavior of animals.

The potential of cellular homing behavior in tumor immunotherapy: from basic discoveries to clinical applications of immune, mesenchymal stem, and cancer cell homing [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
The efficacy of immunotherapy, a pivotal approach in the arsenal of cancer treatment strategies, is contingent on the capacity of effector cells to localize at the tumor site.

Multi-Sensor Assessment of Pigeon Flight Behavior: Role of Biomechanical and Landscape Characteristics [PDF]

Sensors
Understanding how birds adjust their flight in response to biomechanical characteristics and environmental conditions can be useful for interpreting homing behavior.

Demography and homing behavior in the poorly-known Philippine flat-headed frog Barbourula busuangensis (Anura: Bombinatoridae) [PDF]

PeerJ
The flat-headed frog, Barbourula busuangensis, is a poorly known, riverine species, endemic to the province of Palawan in the Philippines. We applied capture-mark-recapture (CMR) methods to follow individuals at two sites (Malbato and San Rafael) in the ...

Human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells do not promote oral cancer cell growth in vitro and metastasis in vivo [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), particularly those derived from bone marrow (BMMSCs), hold substantial promise for bone regeneration in the maxillofacial region, especially after surgical resections with bone involvement.

A Critical Review of Spatial Abilities in Down and Williams Syndromes: Not All Space Is Created Equal

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Down syndrome (DS, Trisomy 21) and Williams syndrome (WS) are two neurodevelopmental disorders of genetic origin that are accompanied by mild to moderate intellectual disability but exhibit distinct cognitive profiles.

Hippocampal firing fields anchored to a moving object predict homing direction during path-integration-based behavior

Nature Communications, 2023
Homing based on path integration (H-PI) is a form of navigation in which an animal uses self-motion cues to keep track of its position and return to a starting point.
