A review of studies of sex-biased dispersal and philopatry and sex-biased survival in birds is presented. The comparison between sex-related mortality and natal and breeding dispersal at the species-level shows that dispersing birds (mainly females) suffer higher mortality, while philopatric birds (mainly males) have higher survival. The interaction between sex-biased survival and spatial behavior is a crucial component of avian vital strategy, which determine population dynamics and genetic structure.
