The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Seasonal home ranges and fidelity to breeding sites among ringed seals (2010, background): “Site fidelity has been documented in several other phocid species including harbor seals (Phoca vitulina), grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina), and Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) (Allen et al. 1995: Goodman 1998; Pomeroy et al. 2000 ; H arko ¨nen and”
Recovery of the South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) population in northern Patagonia (2004, background): “Aside from the differences in life history between otariids and phocids, a similar density-related pattern was also suggested for the increasing population of grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) in the United Kingdom, which showed old stable colonies as well as new colonies becoming established (Pomeroy”
Metapopulation consequences of site fidelity for colonially breeding mammals and birds (2005, background): “Evidence, primarily for birds (Paradis et al . 1998) but also for colonial mammals ( Pomeroy, Twiss & Redman 2000 ), suggests that breeding site fidelity is stronger than natal site fidelity.”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “Females tend to return to the same sites each year and some females return to their natal sites to breed (Pomeroy et al. 2000, 2001).”
