Home-site fidelity in migratory honeybees
Nature, 2000Home-site fidelity is well known in migratory animals, but not in social insects. Here we show that colonies of the giant honeybee Apis dorsata are able to find the same nest location even after seasonal migration. As worker bees do not have first-hand knowledge of the old nest site, the swarms must be guided by some form of genetic mechanism.

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2018
Harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena are common in continental shelf areas of the North Atlantic, but little information is available on their occurrence outside coastal areas. In this study, 30 harbour porpoises were actively caught in West Greenland and

Site Fidelity, Mate Fidelity, and Breeding Dispersal in American Kestrels
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2009Abstract 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

Foraging site fidelity in male Australian fur seals
Marine Biology, 2018Optimal 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 ...

Is mate fidelity related to site fidelity? A comparative analysis in Ciconiiforms
Animal Behaviour, 2000We 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, 2001A 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, 1983Ten 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, 2012Spiza 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
