True site fidelity in pollen‐feeding butterflies

Functional Ecology, 2021
Abstract Site fidelity plays an important role in increasing foraging efficiency, particularly when food resources are reliable. In insects, site fidelity has largely been studied in Hymenopteran species, which consistently return to their nest site after foraging bouts.

Site Fidelity, Mate Fidelity, and Breeding Dispersal in American Kestrels

The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2009
Abstract We assessed mate fidelity, nest-box fidelity, and breeding dispersal distances of American Kestrels (Falco sparverius) nesting in boxes in southwestern Idaho from 1990 through 2006. Seventy-seven percent of boxes had different males and 87% had different females where nest-box occupants were identified in consecutive years. High turnover rates

Is mate fidelity related to site fidelity? A comparative analysis in Ciconiiforms

Animal Behaviour, 2000
We tested for an association between divorce rate and site fidelity in 42 avian species belonging to the order Ciconiiforms, using comparative methods that account for the influences of phylogenetic relationships on the data. Our methods enabled us to detect evidence of correlated evolution and provided information on the temporal ordering of ...

Evidence for memorized site-fidelity in Anopheles arabiensis

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2001
A mark-recapture experiment was carried out in northern Tanzania to determine whether Anopheles arabiensis exhibits memory, by investigating if bloodfed individuals would return to either the location or the host where or on which they had obtained a previous bloodmeal, behaviours termed site-fidelity and host-fidelity respectively.

Site Consistency in Kingbird Breeding Performance: Implications for Site Fidelity

The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1985
(1) We used 8 years of data on breeding eastern kingbirds (Tyrannus tyrannus) to test whether breeding success is consistent between years at a site, thus enabling birds to use past reproductive success at a site as a predictor of future success there. (2) Four measures of breeding performance were examined: rate of nest loss to predation, laying date ...

Dispersal and site fidelity in Blue Grouse

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1983
Ten years of banding and censusing data from Blue Grouse (Dendragapus obscurus) were analyzed with respect to dispersal of juveniles and site fidelity of yearlings and adults. Juvenile females dispersed farther than juvenile males. In sibling pairs of the same sex, brothers settled closer to one another than sisters.

Site Fidelity and Natal Philopatry in Dickcissels

Northeastern Naturalist, 2012
Spiza americana (Dickcissel) colonized a restored Conservation Reserve Program grassland in Maryland during the second year of restoration and has continued to return in subsequent years. In 2000-2010, we banded 125 adult and hatch-year birds; during this period the population ranged annually from one to 16 individuals. Twenty-one percent of adult male

SITE FIDELITY IN HIGH ARCTIC BREEDING WADERS

Ostrich, 1994
Summary Tomkovich, P.S. & Soloviev, M.Yu. 1994. Site fidelity in High Arctic breeding waders. Ostrich 65:174-180. The return rate and fluctuations in density between years were determined for colour-marked populations of Grey Plover Pluvialis squatarola.

Site fidelity of intertidal fish to rockpools

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 2017
Gobius paganellus, Lipophrys pholis and Coryphoblennius galerita are wide‐spread intertidal fish that spend their earlier life stages in rock pools, and yet very little is known about their site fidelity behaviour. For these species, fidelity to rockpools may result in increased fitness costs in a predicted scenario of warmer sea water, due to the low ...

Site Fidelity of Least Terns in California

The Condor, 1988
The degree to which Least Terns (Sterna antillarum) exhibit year-to-year fidelity to particular colony sites, as well as fidelity toward their natal colony sites, was examined using banding recoveries obtained in California. Individuals had high rates of return to colony sites where they had nested during the preceding year; of those few birds that ...
