Natal and breeding philopatry of female Steller sea lions in southeastern Alaska.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Information on drivers of dispersal is critical for wildlife conservation but is rare for long-lived marine mammal species with large geographic ranges.

Experience-dependent natal philopatry of breeding greater flamingos [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2012
1. Contrary to the generally high level of natal philopatry (i.e. likelihood that individuals breed at their natal colony) found in first-breeding colonial birds, little is known of natal philopatry later in life.

Strong philopatry in an estuarine‐dependent fish

Ecology and Evolution
Understanding 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

Philopatry yields higher fitness than dispersal in a cooperative breeder with sex-specific life history trajectories. [PDF]

, 2023
Social evolution is tightly linked to dispersal decisions, but the ecological and social factors selecting for philopatry or dispersal often remain obscure.

Philopatry, site fidelity and local kin associations within grey seal breeding colonies

, 2000
Colonially breeding animals such as grey seals typically have a discrete number of breeding sites. The extent to which offspring are philopatric (return to breed at their natal site) and the prevalence of philopatry by sex of pup has fundamental ...

Evidence for reproductive philopatry in the bull shark Carcharhinus leucas

Journal of Fish Biology, 2012
Reproductive philopatry in bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas was investigated by comparing mitochondrial (NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4, 797 base pairs and control region genes 837 base pairs) and nuclear (three microsatellite loci) DNA of juveniles sampled

The evolution of social philopatry in female primates [PDF]

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2020
AbstractThe transition from solitary life to sociality is considered one of the major transitions in evolution. In primates, this transition is currently not well understood. Traditional verbal models appear insufficient to unravel the complex interplay of environmental and demographic factors involved in the evolution of primate sociality, and recent ...

Age-Dependent Dispersal and Relatedness in Tiger Sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Understanding dispersal in large marine fauna is necessary for conservation, but movement patterns often vary widely by sex and life stage. In sharks, genetic studies have shown evidence of widespread male-biased dispersal, though tagging and tracking ...

Strategic nest site selection in one of the world's largest loggerhead turtle nesting colonies, on Maio Island, Cabo Verde

Oryx, 2023
For species without parental care, such as sea turtles, nest site selection is particularly important for embryo development, hatchling survival and, ultimately, reproductive success. We conducted an 8-year (2012–2019) capture–mark–recapture study of the

No leading‐edge effect in North Atlantic harbor porpoises: Evolutionary and conservation implications

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Understanding species responses to past environmental changes can help forecast how they will cope with ongoing climate changes. Harbor porpoises are widely distributed in the North Atlantic and were deeply impacted by the Pleistocene changes with the ...
