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.

Evidence of Intraspecific Brood Parasitism and Abnormal Egg-Laying Behavior in the Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni)

Birds
Intraspecific brood parasitism (IBP), where one female lays eggs in another’s nest, is considered rare in raptors, including typically monogamous and solitary or semi-colonial falcons. The Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) is a colonial falcon with a usual

Genetic structure at three spatial scales is consistent with limited philopatry in Ricord's Rock Iguanas (Cyclura ricordii)

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.

Breeding dispersal by Ross’s geese in the Queen Maud Gulf metapopulation [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004
We estimated rates of breeding philopatry and complementary dispersal within the Queen Maud Gulf metapopulation of Ross’s Geese (Chen rossii) using multistate modeling of neckband observations at five breeding colonies, 1999–2003.

Reproductive consequences of natal dispersal in a highly philopatric seabird [PDF]

, 2017
Natal and breeding dispersal have a major impact on gene flow and population structure. We examined the consequences of natal dispersal on the reproductive success (proportion of pairs rearing chicks) of colonial-breeding Thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia)

Molecular genetic diversity in populations of the stingless bee Plebeia remota: A case study

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2013
Genetic diversity is a major component of the biological diversity of an ecosystem. The survival of a population may be seriously threatened if its genetic diversity values are low.

Patterns of philopatry and longevity contribute to the evolution of post-reproductive lifespan in mammals [PDF]

While menopause has long been known as a characteristic trait of human reproduction, evidence for post-reproductive lifespan (PRLS) has recently been found in other mammals. Adaptive and non-adaptive hypotheses have been proposed to explain the evolution
