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 ...

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.

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.

Woodland features determining home range size of roe deer
Behavioural Processes, 2017Use 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.

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

A Convex Hull-Based Estimator of Home-Range Size
Biometrics, 1995This paper considers the problem of estimating the home-range size of an animal from locational data, which are usually collected by use of radio telemetry, with convex hull-based estimators. It is shown that the widely used minimum convex polygon has some undesirable characteristics as an estimator, and thus should be used with caution. A method based

Energetic constraints on mammalian home‐range size
Functional Ecology, 2019Abstract 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.

Analysis of Variability in Home-Range Size of the American Marten
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1989Analyse des causes possibles de la variation de la taille des aires de deplacement pour la marte americaine a partir de donnees de la litterature.On constate une variation entre les aires des mâles mais pas de celles des femelles ainsi qu'une variation en fonction du sexe.Les variations sont egalement etudiees en fonction de la methode et de la duree d'

Variation in home-range size of Black-backed Woodpeckers
The Condor, 2014ABSTRACT 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 ...

Effects of Forage on Home-Range Size of Largemouth Bass
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 1983Abstract The influence of supplementary forage on home-range size of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides was studied via radio-telemetry. Largemouth bass were caught in Cedar Lake, Illinois, tagged, and released back to the lake either at an experimental feeder from which fathead minnows Pimephales promelas escaped at a rate of 10/hour or at a ...
