This has two important implications: 1) we cannot account for litter size effects, and 2) the centroid data used to determine natal climatic conditions may not be reflective of the actual natal location.
Individuals remaining at or near their natal location may therefore benefit from the opportunity to interact with kin, but may also risk competition with kin or inbreeding (reviewed in [ 6]).

In eThekwini district, KwaZulu-Natal – the location of this study and the third largest city in South Africa – an estimated 25% of the population live in informal housing (5).
Dispersal comprises three broad stages - departure from the natal or breeding locations, subsequent travel, and settlement.
We did not use the nest as the central point of the radius because the location of the natal nest was unknown and the young queen might not visit the natal nest anymore.
Virtual drifters were released as close to the location of a natal site as possible, but sufficiently far from land to prevent the drifters immediately returning to shore.
If so, the location of the natal nest could thus have confined the flight range of the young queen to garden areas.
Our final selection of sites combines rural (Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Thailand, and KwaZulu-Natal) and an urban (Soweto) location.
As dispersal is a process that occurs on a large temporal scale, the proportion of locations inside the natal home range for 30 days before (P 1 ) and 30 days after (P 2 ) for each record (diff P = P 1 - P 2 ) was calculated to capture changes in use across a two month sliding window.
L4 MEDs are consistent throughout post-natal development [19], and neither the location nor directionality of the neuron is known to predict adjacent-whisker effects [20], [21].
However, malaria is a major health issue in some parts of South Africa (Kruger National Park, some areas in Mpumalanga, Limpopo, and northern KwaZulu-Natal), dependent on season, climate, and location.
