Habitat selection, philopatry and spatial segregation in rural Irish hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) [PDF]
, 2013 As a non-territorial species with no known dispersal period, there are no obvious factors that regulate hedgehog numbers in an area. This study aimed to examine these factors and involved the radio-tracking of rural hedgehogs over a 3-year period.

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 182-200, January 2026.Many birds produce two broods each year and exhibit significant intra‐population variation in the length of time between the hatching of first and second broods (the inter‐brood interval). Why within‐population variation in inter‐brood interval occurs and whether longer inter‐brood intervals influence second‐brood survival remain key questions in ...

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 79-94, January 2026.Many seabird species are in decline and population demographic models are important for revealing the causes and developing conservation strategies. Natal and breeding dispersal are key parameters of such models but can be challenging to estimate and may vary by sex.

Insights into reproduction and behavior of the smalltooth sawfish Pristis pectinata
Endangered Species Research, 2017 Sawfishes (Family Pristidae) constitute one of the most threatened families of marine fish, and substantial management efforts are required to stabilize and recover their populations worldwide. Philopatry is common in marine animals, including sharks and

The Bandwagon Effect: Conspecific Attraction and Vulnerability to Ecological Traps [PDF]
, 2007 Many animals assess habitat quality using indirect cues. These cues may be reliable indicators ordinarily, but when humans alter the environment, animals may prefer unsuitable habitats.
