"Lifetime breeding-site and nest-site fidelity in a declining terrestri" by Phillip G. Byrne and Aimee J. Silla
Introduction: Breeding-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 conservation and management of threatened species. Globally, amphibians are in rapid decline and breeding-site fidelity appears to be widespread, yet few studies have investigated patterns of lifetime breeding-site fidelity, and no studies have explored decision-making rules in situ. Methods: We investigated lifetime patterns of breeding site fidelity i...
