Through a literature review and case study, we reveal that three common methods for assessing nest-switching blend different components, producing a wide range of estimates. Careful component definition and reporting are essential to properly estimate this behaviour. %K breeding dispersal %K genetic kinship analysis %K GPS tracking %K multi&#8208 %K method comparison %K nest fidelity %K ring resighting %K standardized methodologies %~ Universidad de Cádiz
