Home range size and resource use by swift foxes in northeastern Montana. [PDF]
J Mammal, 2020 Abstract Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) are endemic to the Great Plains of North America, but were extirpated from the northern portion of their range by the mid-1900s. Despite several reintroductions to the Northern Great Plains, there remains a ~350 km range gap between the swift fox population along the Montana and Canada border and that ...

Movements, home-range size and habitat selection of mallards during autumn migration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is a focal species in game management, epidemiology and ornithology, but comparably little research has focused on the ecology of the migration seasons.

Estimating home-range size: when to include a third dimension? [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2013 AbstractMost studies dealing with home ranges consider the study areas as if they were totally flat, working only in two dimensions, when in reality they are irregular surfaces displayed in three dimensions. By disregarding the third dimension (i.e., topography), the size of home ranges underestimates the surface actually occupied by the animal ...

Whitebark pine, population density, and home-range size of grizzly bears in the greater yellowstone ecosystem. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Changes in life history traits of species can be an important indicator of potential factors influencing populations. For grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), recent decline of whitebark pine (WBP; Pinus albicaulis ...

Home range size, vegetation density, and season influences prey use by coyotes (Canis latrans). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 To ensure reproductive success, Canis species establish contiguous mosaics of territories in suitable habitats to partition space and defend limiting resources.

Home range size variation in female arctic grizzly bears relative to reproductive status and resource availability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The area traversed in pursuit of resources defines the size of an animal's home range. For females, the home range is presumed to be a function of forage availability.

Why Size Does Not Matter: Sex Driven Home Range Differences in Brown Bears [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSex, 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.

Sex and Age Effects on Monk Parakeet Home-Range Variation in the Urban Habitat
Diversity, 2021 Home-range size is a key aspect of space-use, and variation in home-range size and structure may have profound consequences for the potential impact of damage and control strategies for invasive species.

Home is where the shell is: predicting turtle home range sizes [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2015 SummaryHome range is the area traversed by an animal in its normal activities. The size of home ranges is thought to be tightly linked to body size, through size effect on metabolic requirements. Due to the structure ofEltonian food pyramids, home range sizes of carnivores are expected to exceed those of herbivorous species. The habitat may also affect
