  abstract = {{F}unctional dispersal (between-site movement, with or without subsequent reproduction) is a key trait acting on the ecological and evolutionary trajectories of a species, with potential cascading effects on other members of the local community. {I}t is often difficult to quantify, and particularly so for small organisms such as parasites. {U}nderstanding this life history trait can help us identify the drivers of population dynamics and, in the case of vectors, the circulation of associated infectious agents. {I}n the present study, functional dispersal of the soft tick {O}rnithodoros maritimus was studied at a small scale, within a colony of yellow-legged gulls ({L}arus michahellis). {P}revious work showed a random distribution of infectious agents in this tick at the within-colony scale, suggesting frequent tick movement among nests. {T}his observation contrasts with the presumed strong endophilic nature described for this tick group. {B}y combining an experimental field study, where both nest success and tick origin were manipulated, with {C}apture-{M}ark-{R}ecapture modeling, dispersal rates between nests were estimated taking into account tick capture probability and survival, and considering an effect of tick sex. {A}s expected, tick survival probability was higher in successful nests, where hosts were readily available for the blood meal, than in unsuccessful nests, but capture probability was lower. {D}ispersal was low overall, regardless of nest state or tick sex, and there was no evidence for tick homing behavior; ticks from foreign nests did not disperse more than ticks in their nest of origin. {T}hese results confirm the strong endophilic nature of this tick species, highlighting the importance of life cycle plasticity for adjusting to changes in host availability. {H}owever, results also raise questions with respect to the previously described within-colony distribution of infectious agents in ticks, suggesting that tick dispersal either occurs over longer temporal scales and/or that transient host movements outside the breeding period result in vector exposure to a diverse range of infectious agents.},
