“…Indeed as Franklin (2004) notes birds using newer nest sites or nest boxes that had been moved have a higher breeding success (e.g. Sonerud 1985;Nilsson et al 1991). Alternatively reusing the same sleeping sites may allow more efficient detection of resident predators (Dow & Fredga 1983) and provide a better knowledge escape routes (Struhsaker 1967;Di Bitetti et al 2000).…”

“…It has been suggested that species under high predation pressure, such as callitrichids, may be expected to change their sleeping sites more frequently (Goodall, 1962;Blaffer-Hrdy, 1977). Such a strategy would reduce the likelihood of a predator either associating a particular location with the sleeping site of its prey (Franklin 2004) or of developing a search image for a particular sleeping site (Sonerud 1985). Further, infrequent reuse of sleeping sites may minimize the build-up of odours which predators may cue to (Reichard 1998;Banks et al 2000;Franklin 2004).…”

“…Of particular significance is that there was no indication of an asymptote being reached in sleeping site recruitment for any of the groups observed, despite some having been observed for 300 nights and having used more than 80 different sites. The driving force for this may be either the need to minimize the build up of odor or other cues (Reichard 1998), the potential for a predator to develop a search image for a particular site type (Sonerud 1985) or to minimize infection with parasites or other diseases (Hausfater & Maede 1982;Day & Elwood 1999;Cui et al 2006).…”

Sleeping sites are an important aspect of an animal's ecology given the length of time that they spend in them. The sleep ecology of wild saddleback and mustached tamarins is examined using a long‐term data set covering three mixed‐species troops and 1,300+ tamarin nights. Seasonal changes in photoperiod accounted for a significant amount of variation in sleeping site entry and exit times. Time of exit was more closely correlated with sunrise than time of entry was with sunset. Both species entered their sleeping sites when light levels were significantly higher than when they left them in the morning. Troops of both species used >80 individual sites, the majority being used once. Mustached tamarins never used the same site for more than two consecutive nights, but saddlebacks reused the same site for up to four consecutive nights. Mustached tamarins slept at significantly greater heights than saddleback tamarins. There were consistent interspecific differences in the types of sites used. Neither the presence of infants, season, nor rainfall affected the types or heights of sites chosen. Sleeping sites were located in the central area of exclusive use more often than expected, and their position with respect to fruiting trees indicated a strategy closer to that of a multiple central place forager than a central place forager. These findings are discussed in light of species ecology, with particular reference to predation risk, which is indicated as the major factor influencing the pattern of sleeping site use in these species.

“…On the other hand, the presence of an old nest may indicate that the site had been already used at least once during a breeding season. Some predators may remember sites where they forage and visit them from time to time, so using a site that has existed for some time may also increase the probability of brood failures (Sonerud 1985, Nilsson et al 1991, Sorace et al 2004). …”

“…However, these behavioural features are not useful in unpredictable environments. High fidelity also involves the costs of ectoparasitism (Møller 1989, Stanback & Rockwell 2003 or nest predation (Sonerud 1985, Hakkarainen et al 2001. In addition to site fidelity, mate fidelity occurs in some bird species, where they tend to breed with the same mate in the breeding colony.…”

Abstract. Site fidelity to the colony and breeding histories of individual Grey Herons Ardea cinerea were examined by intensive and long-term (nine years) observations of 50 fledglings and 19 adult birds banded with colour-patterned rings in a single-species colony in suburban Tokyo. In total, 38 (76.0 ) of 50 marked fledglings were never resighted in the natal colony. Of the 12 returning birds, four (33.3 ) began to breed at 2-years-old, two (16.7 ) at 3-years-old, one (8.3 ) at 4-years-old, and five (41.7 ) never bred. Two birds survived after 9 years from fledging. In total, 18 (94.7 ) of 19 adult birds were resighted in the next breeding season and most of them (15/18) bred there. Birds tend to stay at the same breeding colony once they had returned. Some birds exhibited site fidelity to the breeding nest every year, but others did not. Pair bonds remained stable in four pairs throughout years until one individual in a pair was lost. The number of chicks fledged per nest did not change with the age of the parent. Two broods in the same breeding season were observed in 7 (9.0 ) of 78 nests, in which at least one parent was marked. The maximum number of fledglings produced by a single male over the 9 years was 22. Of 23 birds that were resident for more than two years, four birds (all females) continued to stay at the colony site after the breeding season. However, 19 birds (eight males, three females, eight unsexed) left the colony after the late breeding season and were observed in outside locations, particularly at fixed feeding sites. The maximum distance of resighted, marked fledglings was 1,580 km southwest of the colony, 54 days after release.
