Demographic History and Population Structure of Polistes fuscatus Paper Wasps [PDF]
, 2018 Limited dispersal and cooperation are predicted to coevolve in cooperatively breeding systems. In Polistes paper wasps, mark-recapture studies and genetic analyses have shown that both cooperative and solitary nesting gynes can exhibit natal philopatry.

Collectivism–Individualism, Family Ties, and Philopatry [PDF]
, 2014 As predicted by the parasite-stress theory of values, variation in parasite stress correlated with collectivism–individualism across nations, USA states, and indigenous societies. In regions with high adversity of infectious diseases, human cultures are characterized by high collectivism, whereas in regions of low parasite stress cultures are highly ...

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.Across their entire Atlantic breeding range, Atlantic puffins Fratercula arctica have experienced decreases in food availability, often leading to population declines. The species is one of the most numerous seabirds in Føroyar (the Faroe Islands, in English) but has faced apparent, unquantified population declines.

Glacial cycles promote greater dispersal, which can help explain larger clutch sizes, in north temperate birds [PDF]
, 2009 Earth’s glacial history and patterns in the life history traits of the planet’s avifauna suggest the following interpretations of how recent geological history has affected these key characteristics of the biota: 1) Increased colonizing ...

Subordinate females in the cooperatively breeding Seychelles warbler obtain direct benefits by joining unrelated groups [PDF]
, 2018 1. In many cooperatively breeding animals, a combination of ecological constraints and benefits of philopatry favours offspring taking a subordinate position on the natal territory instead of dispersing to breed independently.

Reproductive seasonality, sex ratio and philopatry in Argentina's common vampire bats
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Common vampire bats (Desmodus rotundus) are a key rabies vector in South America. Improved management of this species requires long-term, region-specific information.

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding the genomic architecture of species of conservation concern is essential for fostering effective conservation initiatives. Current biodiversity assessment approaches increasingly incorporate genetic metrics to evaluate the status of species and populations of conservation interest.

Endangered Species Research, 2020 The Steller’s eider Polysticta stelleri is a sea duck that breeds in Arctic tundra regions of Russia and Alaska (USA). The Alaska-breeding population is listed as ‘threatened’ under the US Endangered Species Act because of a perceived contraction of the ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a pervasive form of anthropogenic environmental change and a driver of contemporary evolution. Yet, it remains unclear how demographic processes and environmentally associated genomic variation shape genomic patterns in cities and whether these responses depend on species‐specific ecological traits.
