Site fidelity of migratory shorebirds facing habitat deterioration: insights from satellite tracking and mark-resighting [PDF]
Movement Ecology, 2023 Background Site fidelity, the tendency to return to a previously visited site, is commonly observed in migratory birds. This behaviour would be advantageous if birds returning to the same site, benefit from their previous knowledge about local resources.

Site fidelity and behavioral plasticity regulate an ungulate’s response to extreme disturbance [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 With rapid global change, the frequency and severity of extreme disturbance events are increasing worldwide. The ability of animal populations to survive these stochastic events depends on how individual animals respond to their altered environments, yet

Provisioning ecotourism does not increase tiger shark site fidelity [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 A perennial criticism of provisioning ecotourism is that it alters the natural behavior and ecology of the target species by providing an artificial food source.

Development of a site fidelity index based on population capture-recapture data [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Site fidelity is considered as an animal’s tendency to return to a previously occupied place; this is a component of animal behaviour that allows us to understand movement patterns and aspects related to the animal’s life history.

High site fidelity and restricted ranging patterns in southern Australian bottlenose dolphins [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Information on site fidelity and ranging patterns of wild animals is critical to understand how they use their environment and guide conservation and management strategies. Delphinids show a wide variety of site fidelity and ranging patterns.

Return customers: foraging site fidelity and the effect of environmental variability in wide-ranging antarctic fur seals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Strategies employed by wide-ranging foraging animals involve consideration of habitat quality and predictability and should maximise net energy gain. Fidelity to foraging sites is common in areas of high resource availability or where predictable changes

Recent prey capture experience and dynamic habitat quality mediate short-term foraging site fidelity in a seabird. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2018 Foraging site fidelity allows animals to increase their efficiency by returning to profitable feeding areas. However, the mechanisms underpinning why animals ‘stay’ or ‘switch’ sites have rarely been investigated. Here, we explore how habitat quality and

Influence of age and sex on winter site fidelity of sanderlings Calidris alba [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Many migratory bird species show high levels of site fidelity to their wintering sites, which confers advantages due to prior knowledge, but may also limit the ability of the individual to move away from degrading sites or to detect alternative foraging ...

Age, brood fate, and territory quality affect nest-site fidelity in white stork Ciconia ciconia [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2023 Background A particular type of site fidelity is faithfulness to the nest site, where birds are not only reoccupying breeding territories but also reusing nests built in previous breeding seasons.

Lifetime breeding-site and nest-site fidelity in a declining terrestrial toadlet: evidence for a win-stay/lose-shift strategy [PDF]
Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2023 IntroductionBreeding-site fidelity can occur at various spatial scales and can vary in strength across these scales. Understanding this variation, and rules governing individual site-fidelity decisions, can have important implications for the ...
