Transmission of social status drives cooperation and offspring philopatry. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 2023
The evolution of cooperation depends on two crucial overarching factors: relatedness, which describes the extent to which the recipient shares genes in common with the actor; and quality, which describes the recipient's basic capacity to transmit genes into the future.

Philopatry influences the genetic population structure of the blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) at multiple spatial scales

Molecular Ecology, 2023
Understanding how interactions among microevolutionary forces generate genetic population structure of exploited species is vital to the implementation of management policies that facilitate persistence. Philopatry displayed by many coastal shark species

Genetic Population Structure of the Italian Wall Lizards <i>Podarcis siculus</i> (Squamata: Lacertidae): Insight From Nuclear DNA Markers. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Microsatellite analysis of 294 Podarcis siculus specimens from 121 localities revealed eight genetic clusters that partially align with previously identified mtDNA lineages. However, notable mito‐nuclear discordance was observe, particularly in Southern Italy and Sicily, where microsatellite data indicated different contact zones and less genetic ...

From rivers to ocean basins: The role of ocean barriers and philopatry in the genetic structuring of a cosmopolitan coastal predator

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas) faces varying levels of exploitation around the world due to its coastal distribution. Information regarding population connectivity is crucial to evaluate its conservation status and local fishing impacts.

Philopatry as a Tool to Define Tentative Closed Migration Cycles and Conservation Areas for Large Pelagic Fishes in the Pacific

Sustainability, 2022
Migrations of large pelagic fishes across the Pacific are usually inferred from tagging or genetic studies. Even though these techniques have improved over time, they still fail to demonstrate large transoceanic migrations, usually proposing ‘routes ...

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.

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

How might magnetic secular variation impact avian philopatry?

Journal of Comparative Physiology A. Sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology, 2022
A tendency to return to the natal/breeding site, ‘philopatry’, is widespread amongst migratory birds. It has been suggested that a magnetic ‘map’ could underpin such movements, though it is unclear how a magnetic map might be impacted by gradual drift in

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).
