Survival, movements, home range size and dispersal of hares after coursing and/or translocation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Hare coursing is the pursuit of a hare by dogs for sport. In recent years in Ireland, between 2,900 to 3,700 hares have been caught from the wild (under Government license) and held in captivity for up to 8 weeks. Hares are given a head start and coursed

Home ranges, habitat and body mass: simple correlates of home range size in ungulates. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2016 The spatial scale of animal space use, e.g. measured as individual home range size, is a key trait with important implications for ecological and evolutionary processes as well as management and conservation of populations and ecosystems. Explaining variation in home range size has therefore received great attention in ecological research. However, few

Intraspecific scaling of home range size and its bioenergetic association. [PDF]
EcologyAbstractHome range size and metabolic rate of animals are theorized to scale in relation to body mass with similar exponents. This expectation has only been indirectly tested using lab‐derived estimates of basal metabolic rate as proxies for field energy requirements.

Variation in home range size of red foxes Vulpes vulpes along a gradient of productivity and human landscape alteration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Home range size is a fundamental concept for understanding animal dispersion and ecological needs, and it is one of the most commonly reported ecological attributes of free-ranging mammals.

Odor Fences Have No Effect on Wild Boar Movement and Home Range Size [PDF]
AnimalsWild boars are an opportunistic wildlife species that has successfully colonized the human-modified landscape in Europe. However, the current population boom has negative consequences, which result in a rapid increase in human–wildlife conflicts and ...

Linking seasonal home range size with habitat selection and movement in a mountain ungulate [PDF]
Movement Ecology, 2018 Background Space use by animals is determined by the interplay between movement and the environment, and is thus mediated by habitat selection, biotic interactions and intrinsic factors of moving individuals.

Home range size of Tengmalm's owl during breeding in Central Europe is determined by prey abundance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Animal home ranges typically characterized by their size, shape and a given time interval can be affected by many different biotic and abiotic factors. However, despite the fact that many studies have addressed home ranges, our knowledge of the factors ...

Movement predictability of individual barn owls facilitates estimation of home range size and survival [PDF]
Movement Ecology, 2023 Background There is growing attention to individuality in movement, its causes and consequences. Similarly to other well-established personality traits (e.g., boldness or sociability), conspecifics also differ repeatedly in their spatial behaviors ...

Influence of Reproductive Status: Home Range Size in Water Voles (Arvicola amphibius). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The relationship between home range and reproductive status of water voles (Arvicola amphibius) was studied by radio-tracking on an island off the coast of northern Norway in 2006-2009.

Home range size and habitat use of the blue-crowned laughingthrush during the breeding season [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 The home range size and habitat use of the blue-crowned laughingthrush (Garrulax courtoisi, hereafter BCLT), a critically endangered, subtropical, cooperative-breeding bird species in southeast China, were studied during its breeding period using radio ...
