Female philopatry may influence antipredatory behavior in a solitary mammal. [PDF]

PeerJ
Whether 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 <i>Raja undulata</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Individual 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.

Female chimpanzees avoid inbreeding even in the presence of substantial bisexual philopatry. [PDF]

R Soc Open Sci
Inbreeding (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 ...

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.

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.

Unraveling site fidelity and residency patterns of sperm whales in the insular oceanic waters of Macaronesia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Knowledge of the distribution and residency of pelagic marine megafauna, particularly deep-diving species, is scarce due to their high mobility over difficult-to-access oceanic areas and long periods underwater.

Conservation Genetics of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle, Caretta caretta, from the Central Mediterranean: An Insight into the Species’ Reproductive Behaviour in Maltese Waters

Animals, 2023
Loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758), nestlings were investigated through specimens found dead either after hatching or unhatched (n = 120) from eight nests around the Maltese islands (Central Mediterranean).

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.

Snowy Owls in central North America have regular migration and high philopatry to wintering sites though not always to home ranges

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2023
Understanding the threats faced by a bird species requires a knowledge of their movements throughout the annual cycle and, for migratory species, the degree of connectivity between breeding and wintering sites.
