For the purposes of fecundity, do tokens go to the graveyard?

Token creatures are creatures, and yes, they do indeed go to the
graveyard just like all other creatures (and trigger stuff like
Fecundity on the way), however when they get there they are hit by:

420.5f A token in a zone other than the in-play zone ceases to exist.

Thus they do not stay there for long, this is the source of much
confusion with Fecundity like cards.

For pretty much all purposes, tokens go to the graveyard.

They do not STAY there for any significant length of time at all - the next
time state-based effects are checked, which will ALWAYS before BEFORE the
next time any player has priority, they Dissolve - cease to exist. So you
can never do something new _while_ they are there. But they trigger "when
a creature goes to the graveyard from play" abilities just fine, because they
do go there.
