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.

Lifetime breeding-site and nest-site fidelity in a declining terrestrial toadlet: evidence for a win-stay/lose-shift strategy

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 ...

Drivers of site fidelity in ungulates [PDF]

, 2021
1. 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.

Sleeping site fidelity in three neotropical species of herpetofauna [PDF]

, 2021
We report and discuss the sleeping behavior, sleeping site features and sleeping site fidelity for two reptiles and one amphibian. We recorded 2 sleeping sites for Enyalioides laticeps with the individual returning to the same site for 7 days; 1 sleeping

How the importance of survival estimates in estimating Whinchat population dynamics depends on the scale of migratory connectivity and site fidelity [PDF]

, 2015
Accurate monitoring of whinchat population dynamics requires accurate estimates of breeding season survival and productivity, non-breeding survival and site fidelity (dispersal, immigration and emmigration).

Site Fidelity of Formica rufa: Micro-Scaled and Persistent Despite Disturbane (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Sociobiology, 2015
Long-term site fidelity or Ortstreue is an individual foraging strategy typical of ants exploiting stable and predictable food sources in space and time. Red wood ant workers (Formica s.

Individual Network Topology of Patch Selection Under Influence of Drifting Site Fidelity

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Network theory has led to important insight into statistical-mechanical aspects of systems showing scaling complexity. I apply this approach to simulate the behavior of animal space use under the influence of memory and site fidelity.
