Breeding success, nest site fidelity and mate fidelity in the European Storm-petrel

Seabird Journal, 2020
The European Storm-petrel Hydrobates pelagicus is a monogamous and long-lived species with a low reproductive rate. Its nest sites are located in natural cavities under rocks or in burrows excavated by other species. Data obtained in the Molène archipelago, western France, have been analysed to study nest site fidelity and mate fidelity, and to study ...

SITE FIDELITY, TERRITORY FIDELITY, AND NATAL PHILOPATRY IN WILLOW FLYCATCHERS (EMPIDONAX TRAILLII)

The Auk, 2004
Abstract I investigated the causes and consequences of adult breeding-site fidelity, territory fidelity, and natal philopatry in Willow Flycatchers (Empidonax traillii) in southeastern Oregon over a 10-year period, testing the general hypothesis that fidelity and dispersal distances are influenced by previous breeding performance.

Site Fidelity: Rock Pigeons and Refugees

Swamphen: a Journal of Cultural Ecology (ASLEC-ANZ), 2014
This paper presents a series of multi-disciplinary artworks developed from collaborations with local Tasmanian pigeon fanciers and homing associations. The artworks explore the desire to locate habitat in unstable environments, exposing bespoke ecosystems and visualising agency within a locational / relational feedback loop.

Site fidelity and homing behaviour of intertidal sculpins revisited

Journal of Fish Biology, 2016
To assess the repeatability of an ecological study, this study both partially replicates and extends a previous study on the site fidelity and homing ability of two abundant and ecologically important species of rocky intertidal sculpin fishes, Oligocottus maculosus and Oligocottus snyderi.

Stopover-Site Fidelity at a Near-Coastal Banding Site in Georgia

Southeastern Naturalist, 2009
Abstract We documented one Seiurus noveboracensis (Northern Waterthrush) exhibiting stopover-site fidelity by returning to a near-coastal stopover site at the Butler Island Auxiliary Station (BIAS) on the Altamaha Waterfowl Management Area in southeast Georgia during banding operations from 1995–2000.

Site Fidelity of Shrubland and Forest Birds

The Condor, 2009
Abstract. In eastern North America, most early-successional woody habitats are ephemeral and succeed to forests within a few decades. Consequently, for shrubland birds patches of habitat are generally suitable for breeding for only a short time. This has led some authors to suggest that shrubland birds should show little fidelity to former breeding ...

Foraging site fidelity in male Australian fur seals

Marine Biology, 2018
Optimal foraging theory predicts that predators will employ strategies that maximise their net energetic return. Foraging site fidelity (the re-use of a prior foraging area) is assumed to be beneficial, because it facilitates direct travel to foraging areas and familiarity with a foraging area may confer energetic advantages over the lifetime of an ...

Mate, Site, and Territory Fidelity in Piping Plovers

The Auk, 1988
-Breeding-site fidelity, territory retention, and mate fidelity were examined in a color-banded population of monogamous Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) breeding at five focal sites in southern Manitoba from 1981 to 1986. Frequent nest destruction by predators and storms provided numerous opportunities for birds to change mates and territories ...

Influences on Release‐Site Fidelity of Translocated Elk

Restoration Ecology, 2004
AbstractSeveral eastern states are considering the restoration of free‐ranging elk populations via translocation from western populations. Optimal habitat immediately surrounding release sites has been found to enhance elk reintroduction success in western states.

Bower site acquisition, fidelity, attendance, and courtship displays

2004
Abstract Court or bower sites and adequate clearings or structures and their elaboration by decoration and painting are critical to male reproductive success in polygynous bowerbirds. They represent the focal point for highly ritualised and complex courtship demanded by discerning females.
