Female site fidelity of the Mealy Mountain caribou herd (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in Labrador

Rangifer, 2011
The Mealy Mountain caribou population of southeastern Labrador is listed as threatened. Site fidelity - the philopatric tendency of an animal to remain in or return to the same site - has often been suspected in sedentary caribou like the Mealy Mountain,

Risky movements? Natal dispersal does not decrease survival of a large herbivore

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Natal dispersal is assumed to be a particularly risky movement behavior as individuals transfer, often long distances, from birth site to site of potential first reproduction.

Female philopatry and dominance patterns in wild geladas [PDF]

American Journal of Primatology, 2010
AbstractCercopithecines have a highly conserved social structure with strong female bonds and stable, maternally inherited linear dominance hierarchies. This system has been ascribed to the pervasiveness of female philopatry within the typical multi‐male, multi‐female social groups.

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

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2010
Summary1. 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. Most hypotheses advanced to explain natal philopatry are valid at all ages.

‘O sibling, where art thou?’ – a review of avian sibling recognition with respect to the mammalian literature [PDF]

, 2004
Avian literature on sibling recognition is rare compared to that developed by mammalian researchers. We compare avian and mammalian research on sibling recognition to identify why avian work is rare, how approaches differ and what avian and mammalian ...

Female philopatry in smalltooth sawfish Pristis pectinata: conservation and management implications

Endangered Species Research, 2021
Populations are more effectively managed with information on breeding and dispersal behavior, making the evaluation of these characteristics essential for effective conservation of a species.

Unsustainable anthropogenic mortality disrupts natal dispersal and promotes inbreeding in leopards

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Anthropogenic mortality of wildlife is typically inferred from measures of the absolute decline in population numbers. However, increasing evidence suggests that indirect demographic effects including changes to the age, sex, and social structure of ...
