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.

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.

Measurement of Territory and Home Range Size in Birds
The Auk, 1955At 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.

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.

Home Range, Time, and Body Size in Mammals
Ecology, 1986The relationship between home range area and body size of terrestrial mammals is reconsidered in light of the concept of biological time. Biological time is an internal, body—mass—dependent, time scale to which the durations (of rates) of biological events are entrained.

Bioenergetics and the Determination of Home Range Size
The American Naturalist, 1963The 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.

Effects of Corticosterone on Activity and Home-Range Size of Free-Ranging Male Lizards
Hormones and Behavior, 1994The purpose of our study was to examine whether corticosterone (B) affects the spacing behavior of free-ranging male side-blotched lizards (Uta stansburiana). Furthermore, we wanted to determine if the density, reflected in seasonal changes in population size, or behavior, as a result of hormonal manipulation, of "neighboring" males influences these ...

Home Range Size and Choice of Management Strategy for Lynx in Scandinavia
Environmental Management, 2001Annual and seasonal home ranges were calculated for 47 Eurasian lynx in four Scandinavian study sites (two in Sweden and two in Norway). The observed home ranges were the largest reported for the species, with study site averages ranging from 600 to 1,400 km2 for resident males and from 300 to 800 km2 for resident females.

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
