Migratory habit is related to philopatry, because resident species of birds tend to have lower dispersal rates than migratory species. |

First-time breeders that came back to breed within their natal colony showed strong philopatry toward their natal breeding sites. |
|
In the absence of inbreeding, the most extreme value of coancestry is achieved by male polygyny together with female philopatry. |
|
It appears that mandrill groups are based on stable matrilines, with female philopatry and dispersing males, as in the majority of cercopithecines. |
|
Studies of highly kin-structured mammal societies have revealed the importance of natal philopatry in determining the distribution of genetic variation within populations. |
