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 ReportsMany 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.

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

Daily nocturnal homing reveals goal-directed navigation in a wild teleost [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Understanding how free-ranging animals navigate large, low-visibility environments remains an important challenge in movement ecology. Using high-resolution acoustic telemetry, we investigated the movement behavior of adult pikeperch (Sander ...
