The relationship between the number of times an animal is captured c and the number of grid stations at which it has been captured So is represented by the function Sc = S. (1-e-kc). In such cases it is possible to compute an index of home range size S.

Energetic Constraints on Home-Range Size
The American Naturalist, 1983McNab (1963) plotted home-range size (HR) against body weight (BW) for a variety of mammal species, and concluded that home-range size was determined by an animal's energetic needs and by the density of available food. Using a regression model, he fitted an allometric relationship of the form HR = a * BWb.

Chapter Four. Home Range Size and Movements of Greater Prairie-Chickens
, 2019Size of a home range is key to a species' conservation and management. Estimates of home range size vary with movement patterns, which in turn vary with sex, age class, season, time of day, and habitat configuration, particularly extent of fragmentation.

Home Ranges and Body Size of Lizards
Ecology, 1969The relationship between home range, A (m2) and body weight, W (g) among adults of 13 species of terrestrial lizards was estimated as: A = 171.4W0.95. The slope of the logarithmic regression is steeper than that relating standard metabolic rate, M (cm3 O2/hr) at 30°C and body weight: M = 0.82W0.62.

Home Range Estimates Vary with Sample Size and Methods
Folia Primatologica, 2008Accurate estimates of a primate’s home range are important, yet methods vary greatly. This paper examines the accuracy of minimum convex polygon (MCP), adaptive kernel (AK) and fixed kernel (FK) estimators by comparing home range estimates of northern bearded saki monkeys (Chiropotes satanas chiropotes) living in forest fragments and continuous forest ...

Home range size and population dynamic
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1978Abstract A relationship between home range size and population density is developed. Dynamics of the adjustment of home range size to equilibrium are considered for two cases. When the equilibrial size is constant, actual home range size approaches the equilibrial value in an exponential fashion.

The biogeography of home range size of woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus caribou
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2018Population‐limiting factors represent the core of conservation biology. Because animal space use is affected by ecological constraints that can vary among populations, limiting factors might be revealed from intraspecific variation in home range size. We

Scaling of home range size: Body size, metabolic needs and ecology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1988It is hardly surprising that elephants range over larger areas than rabbits. We expect larger animals to need to cover more ground to obtain their food. Equally, we expect herbivores to require less area over which to forage than carnivores of the same size. It might be thought that home range areas, or the sizes of feeding territories, would vary with
