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.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

High philopatry rates of Yellow-legged Gulls in the southeastern part of the Bay of Biscay
Avian Research, 2021 Background Philopatry rate is one of the main factors shaping population dynamics in colonial seabirds. Low rates of philopatry are linked to populations with high dispersal, while high rates are linked to populations with a very high spatial structure ...

Mothers may shape the variations in social organization among gorillas [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 When mothers continue to support their offspring beyond infancy, they can influence the fitness of those offspring, the strength of social relationships within their groups, and the life-history traits of their species.

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.

Proximate Drivers of Migration and Dispersal in Wing-Monomorphic Insects
Insects, 2020 Gains in our knowledge of dispersal and migration in insects have been largely limited to either wing-dimorphic species or current genetic model systems.

Polar Research, 2021 Philopatry influences animal distribution and can lead to a kinship-based spatial structure, where proximity and relatedness are tightly linked. In the Barents Sea region, polar bears (Ursus maritimus) of the coastal ecotype remain year-round within the ...
