Final-salary schemes, by contrast, punish backpacking and reward sedentariness. |
Yet it is not a matter of choosing sides between models of nomadism and sedentariness. |
And probably, some increase in sedentariness is a factor, although this is actually quite difficult to measure. |
However, Arnold and Owens have shown that cooperative breeding is associated with longer survival, smaller clutches, and increased sedentariness. |
Such prolonged sedentariness may have health consequences, additional research shows. |
The apparent area-sensitivity of Rufous-crowned Sparrows in southern California may be attributable in part to their high sedentariness. |
