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

Territoriality and variation in home range size through the entire annual range of migratory great spotted cuckoos (Clamator glandarius). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Variation in home range size throughout the year and its causes are not well understood yet. Migratory brood parasites offer a unique opportunity to incorporate this spatio-temporal dimension into the study of the factors regulating home range dynamics ...

Using dynamic Brownian Bridge Movement Models to identify home range size and movement patterns in king cobras. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Home range estimators are a critical component for understanding animal spatial ecology. The choice of home range estimator in spatial ecology studies can significantly influence management and conservation actions, as different methods lead to vastly ...

Energetic constraints on mammalian home‐range size
Functional Ecology, 2019 Abstract The metabolic theory of ecology predicts that rates of metabolic processes play a central role in constraining important fitness traits such as home‐range size. Locomotory behaviours are physiologically expensive, yet the relative importance of the animal's energetics in determining their home ranges is unknown.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Intensity of space use reveals conditional sex-specific effects of prey and conspecific density on home range size. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 Home range (HR) size variation is often linked to resource abundance, with sex differences expected to relate to sex‐specific fitness consequences. However, studies generally fail to disentangle the effects of the two main drivers of HR size variation ...
