The evolution of social philopatry and dispersal in female mammals [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2011
AbstractIn most social mammals, some females disperse from their natal group while others remain and breed there throughout their lives but, in a few, females typically disperse after adolescence and few individuals remain and breed in their natal group.

Evolution and function of fossoriality in the carnivora: implications for group-living

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
The societies of group-living carnivores that neither hunt nor interact cooperatively may arise due to ecological drivers and/or constraints. In this study we evaluate whether group-living may be intrinsically associated with fossoriality; a link that is

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Distribution of genetic diversity reveals colonization patterns and philopatry of the loggerhead sea turtles across geographic scales

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Understanding the processes that underlie the current distribution of genetic diversity in endangered species is a goal of modern conservation biology. Specifically, the role of colonization and dispersal events throughout a species’ evolutionary history

Improvement in survivorship: The key for population recovery? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In northern Patagonia, commercial harvesting of South American sea lions, Otaria flavescens, from 1920 to 1960, decimated its population abundance. Population recovery was not immediate after hunting ceased in 1962.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesEcology 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.

Assessing the role of ontogenetic movement in maintaining population structure in fish using otolith microchemistry

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Identifying the mechanisms maintaining population structure in marine fish species with more than a single dispersing life stage is challenging because of the difficulty in tracking all life stages.

First record of humpback whale songs in Southern Chile: Analysis of seasonal and diel variation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) produce complex, patterned songs that are traditionally recorded on their breeding grounds. In this work, we report results from the first continuous acoustic monitoring of a humpback whale feeding ground off
