Initial dispersal from natal site.
So we get some information about movements between their natal site and their nesting site.
On average, a female that moves does so after laying two-thirds of its eggs in its natal site.
Female behaviour can be seen as a "spread-the-risk" strategy, an adaptation to the successional habitat of L. achine, whose natal site sooner or later will deteriorate.
Individuals differ in whether or not they disperse and in the distance they travel from their natal site before settling to breed.
Most birds appear to settle relatively close to their natal site, but vagrants frequently are found far north of their typical breeding range, suggesting that some individuals wander widely.

Reciprocal transplant experiments might be another option, but these are thwarted by the tendency of displaced adults to depart for their natal sites [34].
We used δD data from precipitation and from known-origin feathers, along with band-recovery information to model the relative importance of natal sites to scaup recruitment into migratory aggregations during fall.
The plan made a distinction between peregrines with natal sites south of 54°N latitude (F. p. anatum) and those further north, which includes both F. p. tundrius and northern F. p. anatum subspecies.
We combined geospatial, observational, and analytical data sources, including known scaup breeding range, δD values of feathers from juveniles at natal sites, models of δD for growing-season precipitation, and scaup band-recovery data to generate probabilistic natal origin landscapes for individual scaup.
We estimated the timing of emigration from natal sites using ten previously published methods.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
