“…Many studies have found breeding dispersal in birds to be associated with low own reproductive success in the year before dispersal (e.g., Newton and Marquiss 1982;Pärt and Gustafsson 1989;Bensch and Hasselquist 1991;Payne and Payne 1993;Doligez et al 1999;Forero et al 1999;Daniels and Walters 2000;Newton 2001;Sedgwick 2004), and this is confirmed by experimental investigations (Bollinger and Gavin 1989;Gowaty and Plissner 1997;Haas 1998;Hoover 2003). In the red-backed shrike, the reproductive performance hypothesis referring to own breeding performance (personal information) was supported in females, as the probability to disperse increased with decreasing number of fledglings.…”

“…Other factors potentially related to the social constraints hypothesis, such as individual quality and age, were not assessed. The importance of individual quality (other than age) for breeding dispersal has generally received little attention, whereas age-related effects on breeding dispersal were found in some studies (Pärt and Gustafsson 1989;Payne and Payne 1993;Daniels and Walters 2000;Newton 2001;Blakesley et al 2006), but not in others (Forero et al 1999;Serrano et al 2001;Hoover 2003;Sedgwick 2004). …”

“…In addition, whether breeding dispersal is adaptive remains unclear. Some studies have reported increased fitness for dispersing individuals (Pärt and Gustafsson 1989;Stenseth and Lidicker 1992;Payne and Payne 1993;Waser 1996;Forero et al 1999;Newton 2001), whereas others have found no such effects (Newton and Marquiss 1982;Pusey and Packerings, individuals are expected to benefit from dispersal, given that breeding dispersal can entail substantial costs, e.g., expressed as reduced survival compared to philopatric individuals (Daniels and Walters 2000; also see Yoder et al 2004). …”

“…The social constraints hypothesis refers to situations in which individuals disperse as a consequence of intraspecific interactions (Payne and Payne 1993;Otter and Ratcliffe 1996), which may arise, for example, through high local density of conspecifics. In our study population, nesting success was found to decrease with increasing conspecific density in the neighborhood of a territory (Müller et al 2005).…”

Studies of animal breeding dispersal have often focused on possible causes, whereas its adaptive significance has received less attention. Using an information-theoretic approach, we assessed predictions of four hypotheses relating to causes and consequences of breeding dispersal in a migratory passerine, the red-backed shrike Lanius collurio. As predicted by the reproductive performance hypothesis, probability of breeding dispersal in females (though not in males) decreased with increasing annual average number of fledglings produced in the past year, but there was no association with conspecific reproductive performance in either sex. The site choice hypothesis, stating that individuals disperse to improve breeding site quality, received support in males only, as dispersal probability was positively associated to a measure indicating low territory quality. The social constraints hypothesis, referring to dispersal in relation to intraspecific interactions, received little support in either sex. The predation risk hypothesis was hardly supported either. Consequences of dispersal were marginal in both sexes because neither fledgling production in females, nor territory quality in males improved after dispersal. In addition, males settled on territories closer to the forest edge than those occupied predispersal, which is opposite to the prediction of the predation risk hypothesis. We conclude that own reproductive success was the major factor determining dispersal behavior in females, whereas territory quality and possibly predation risk were most important in males. Overall, breeding dispersal appeared not to be adaptive in this dense population inhabiting an optimal habitat.

“…Another advantage of dispersal is that it could reduce inbreeding (Greenwood et al 1978, Bauer 1987, Hansson et al 2002a These main patterns that affect site fidelity in birds can be summarized as: sex differences in fidelity within species with male biased return rates (Solonen 1979, Greenwood 1980, Payne & Payne 1993, Verhulst et al 1997, Schlossberg 2009); a tendency for greater fidelity in later life (Greenwood & Harvey 1982, Pärt 2001, Winkler et al 2004, Vergara et al 2006) and a greater tendency to change territories after a breeding failure (Harvey et al 1979, Haas 1998, Schjørring et al 2000, Sedgwick 2004). In addition, some birds change territories immediately after arrival, in response to local food depletion or other factors that are likely to reduce breeding success (Newton 2008).…”

Breeding dispersal, the movement from one breeding territory to another, is rare for philopatric species that evolved within relatively stable environments, such as the old-growth coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest. While dispersal is not inherently maladaptive, the consequences of increased dispersal on population dynamics in populations whose historical dispersal rates are low could be significant, particularly for a declining species. We examined rates and possible causes of breeding dispersal based on a sample of 4,118 northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) monitored in seven study areas over 28 years, 1990 to 2017, in Oregon and Washington, USA. Using a multistate mark-resight analysis, we investigated the potential impacts of an emergent congeneric competitor (barred owl Strix varia) and forest alteration (extrinsic factors), and social and individual conditions (intrinsic factors) on 408 successive and 1372 non-successive dispersal events between years. The annual probability of breeding dispersal increased for individual owls that had also dispersed in the previous year and decreased for owls on territories with historically high levels of reproduction.Intrinsic factors including pair status, prior reproductive success, and experience at a site, were also associated with breeding dispersal movements. The percent of monitored owls dispersing each year increased from ~7% early in the study to ~25% at the end of the study, which coincided with a rapid increase in numbers of invasive and competitively dominant barred owls. We suggest that the results presented here can inform spotted owl conservation efforts as we identify factors contributing to changing rates of demographic parameters including site fidelity and breeding dispersal. Our study further shows that increasing rates of breeding dispersal associated with population declines contribute to population instability and vulnerability of northern spotted owls to extinction, and the prognosis is unlikely to change unless active management interventions are undertaken.
