Lower settlement following a forced displacement experiment: nonbreeding as a dispersal cost in a wild bird?
2017, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :In this population, nestling body mass was found to correlate positively with juvenile survival and recruitment (Linden, Gustafsson, & Part, 1992). Hence, the lower nestling body mass may here still reflect an important cost of breeding in an unfamiliar environment, via, for example, lower foraging efficiency and/or lower quality territory (e.g. Pärt, 1991, 1994). Alternatively, but again not exclusively, the difference in nestling body mass could result from phenotypic differences between displaced individuals that did and did not return to the patch of capture.
Why come back home? Investigating the proximate factors that influence natal philopatry in migratory passerines
2016, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :Delayed fledge dates increase the probability of philopatry, which could contribute to the increased likelihood of philopatry to gap-hayed fields. Natal philopatry is known to be an adaptive strategy for some species (Bensch et al., 1998; Pärt, 1991, 1994); however, it is a complicated dispersal strategy in agricultural systems because it can be a good or bad decision depending on how the fields in an individual's natal area are managed (Fajardo et al., 2009). Therefore, it is important to understand what makes some individuals more philopatric than others and whether managers can influence philopatry in areas controlled by humans, especially for declining species that require conservation plans.
