Natal foraging philopatry in eastern Pacific hawksbill turtles [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 The complex processes involved with animal migration have long been a subject of biological interest, and broad-scale movement patterns of many marine turtle populations still remain unresolved.

Strong Philopatry, Isolation by Distance, and Local Habitat Have Promoted Genetic Structure in Heermann’s Gull [PDF]
Diversity, 2022 Philopatry can promote genetic differentiation among populations but remains undescribed in many seabirds. Hence, we explored such associations in Heermann’s Gull.

Strong philopatry in an estuarine‐dependent fish [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUnderstanding fish movement is critical in determining the spatial scales in which to appropriately manage wild populations. Genetic markers provide a natural tagging approach to assess the degree of gene flow and population connectivity across a species

Living on the edge: how philopatry maintains adaptive potential [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 Without genetic variation, species cannot cope with changing environments, and evolution does not proceed. In endangered species, adaptive potential may be eroded by decreased population sizes and processes that further reduce gene flow such as ...

Female chimpanzees avoid inbreeding even in the presence of substantial bisexual philopatry [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceInbreeding (reproduction between relatives) often decreases the fitness of offspring and is thus expected to lead to the evolution of inbreeding avoidance strategies.

Female philopatry may influence antipredatory behavior in a solitary mammal [PDF]
PeerJWhether neighboring individuals are related or not has a number of important ecological & evolutionary ramifications. Kin selection resulting from philopatry can play an important role in social and antipredatory behavior.

Individual Variation in Philopatry Is Unrelated to Activity and Space Use in the Undulate Skate Raja undulata [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIndividual variation in behavior is widespread in animals. Movement traits, which describe how individuals interact with their environment, can vary across a range of spatial and temporal scales.

Felsenstein's“one-allele model”of speciation: The role of philopatry in the initial stages of host plant mediated reproductive isolation in Enchenopa binotata [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2013 The study of speciation genetics is primarily concerned with identifying the genetic traits that allow divergent selection to overcome the homogenizing effects of gene flow.

Genetic structure at three spatial scales is consistent with limited philopatry in Ricord's Rock Iguanas (Cyclura ricordii) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Cyclura ricordii is an endemic iguana from Hispaniola Island and is threatened on the IUCN Red List. The main threats are predation by introduced mammals, habitat destruction, and hunting pressure.
