Bioenergetics and the Determination of Home Range Size

The American Naturalist, 1963
The size of the home range is examined in mammals. It is determined, mainly, by the amount of energy expended by the species, and, therefore, the home range area may vary according to the direct and indirect influences of weather and climate on the animal. But the kind of food that is utilized will also influence home range size.

Woodland features determining home range size of roe deer

Behavioural Processes, 2017
Use of ecotones by ungulates may be mediated by their movements between main feeding areas and woodland, where they locate their shelter. The roe deer Capreolus capreolus has been termed as a woodland species, although we suggest that it did not evolve as a forest ungulate, but depending on forest glades.

Primate home-range size and metabolic needs

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1981
We test the hypothesis that cross-species variation in home range size across primates is determined by the metabolic needs of the animals occupying the home range and by their diet. Metabolic needs are calculated from published records of group structure, time spent in different activities and the metabolic costs of those activities.

Carnivore home-range size, metabolic needs and ecology

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1982
Relationships between home-range size, metabolic needs of the animals occupying the homerange, and ecology are examined across species in the order Carnivora. Home-range size increases with metabolic needs, irrespective of taxonomic affinity. When the effects of metabolic needs are removed, among ecological variables (including activity pattern ...

Measurement of Territory and Home Range Size in Birds

The Auk, 1955
At some time during the annual cycle, most vertebrates restrict their activities to a definite area which may be termed the home range. If all or part of the home range is defended against other individuals of the same species, the guarded area is called a territory, according to current usage.

Effects of Sample Size on Kernel Home Range Estimates

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1999
Kernel methods for estimating home range are being used increasingly in wildlife research, but the effect of sample size on their accuracy is not known. We used computer simulations of 10-200 points/ home range and compared accuracy of home range estimates produced by fixed and adaptive kernels with the reference (REF) and least-squares cross ...

Variation in home-range size of Black-backed Woodpeckers

The Condor, 2014
ABSTRACT The Black-backed Woodpecker (Picoides arcticus) is a species of conservation concern that is strongly associated with recently burned forests. Black-backed Woodpeckers are known to have variable home-range sizes, yet the ecological factors related to this variation have not been adequately explored and may hold insights into the natural ...
