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

Null models confirm nest site fidelity by male smallmouth bass, Micropterus dolomieu [PDF]

BMC Zoology
Background Many animals appear to preferentially renest in proximity to a site they previously occupied. Evidence of nest fidelity is often inferred from a right skewed distribution of distances between the nests of individuals that breed in two ...

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.

Linking animal movement to site fidelity

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2011
Site fidelity, the recurrent visit of an animal to a previously occupied area is a wide-spread behavior in the animal kingdom. The relevance of site fidelity to territoriality, successful breeding, social associations, optimal foraging and other ecological processes, demands accurate quantification. Here we generalize previous theory that connects site

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 ...

Drivers of site fidelity in ungulates [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021
Abstract While the tendency to return to previously visited locations—termed ‘site fidelity’—is common in animals, the cause of this behaviour is not well understood. One hypothesis is that site fidelity is shaped by an animal's environment, such that animals living in landscapes with predictable resources have stronger site fidelity.

Fidelity to foraging sites after long migrations [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2019
Abstract Patterns of animal movement associated with foraging lie at the heart of many ecological studies and often animals face decisions of staying in an environment they know versus relocating to new sites. The lack of knowledge of new foraging sites means there is risk associated with a decision to relocate (e.g.
