Relationships involving homoclinic orbits of various periods and the Sarkovskii stratification are given and corresponding bifurcation properties are derived. It is shown that if a continuous map has one homoclinic periodic orbit, it has infinitely many. In any family of C1 maps going from zero to positive entropy, infinitely many homoclinic bifurcations occur, involving periods which are successively smaller powers of two.
