Home range, mobility and hibernation of brown bears (Ursus arctos, Ursidae) in areas with supplementary feeding

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020
Supplementary feeding, although a common practice, is seldom studied in terms of its effect on non-targeted species, such as the brown bear (Ursus arctos). We conducted a GPS-GSM telemetry study on nine individuals (out of about 100 supposedly inhabiting

Factors shaping home ranges of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in the Western Carpathians

open access: yesScientific Reports
Understanding how large carnivores utilize space is crucial for management planning in human-dominated landscape and enhances the accuracy of population size estimates. However, Eurasian lynx display a large inter-population variation in the size of home

Effects of prescribed burning on swainson's warbler home‐range size and habitat use

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
Prescribed fire is an often‐used tool for managing or manipulating wildlife habitats. However, studies on the effects of prescribed fire on conservation‐priority songbirds are limited.

Larger male Yellow Warbler ( Setophaga petechia ) occupy smaller home ranges over winter in natural and agricultural sites in western Mexico

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology
Agroecosystems are becoming increasingly important bird habitats as natural Neotropical habitats are converted to agriculture at a rate of 3.5 million ha annually.

Home range estimate and spatial ecology of a radio-tagged Indian Pangolin

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
We provide the first telemetry-based home range size estimate of the Indian pangolin (Manis crassicaudata) in Asia, through a case study of the species in Pakistan.

Sex-specific resource strategies mediate home range sizes of an endangered carnivore across multiple scales

open access: yesScientific Reports
Home ranges reflect a trade-off between the costs and benefits associated with acquiring resources and are influenced by complex interactions among intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Habitat Requirements of Breeding Black-Backed Woodpeckers (Picoides arcticus) in Managed, Unburned Boreal Forest

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2009
We investigated home-range characteristics and habitat selection by Black-backed Woodpeckers (Picoides arcticus) in an unburned, boreal forest landscape managed by mosaic harvesting in Quebec, Canada.

Why Size Does Not Matter: Sex Driven Home Range Differences in Brown Bears

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Sex, body size and environmental conditions are key determinants of home range size in large mammals, yet their relative importance within populations remains unclear for many wide‐ranging carnivores such as brown bears.

Home range size, habitat selection, and mycophagy of sympatric North American flying squirrels

open access: yesEcosphere
The northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) is a mycophagous specialist (i.e., having a fungi‐dominated diet) which might be displaced following northward range expansion by the congeneric southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans).

Behavioural Constraints to Home Range Allometries in Aquatic Organisms

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Home range is the spatial evolutionary arena where an individual can succeed or fail. Its size reflects the balance between individual energy requirements and acquisitions.
