Movement Patterns, Home Range Size and Habitat Selection of an Endangered Resource Tracking Species, the Black-Throated Finch (Poephila cincta cincta). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 Understanding movement patterns and home range of species is paramount in ecology; it is particularly important for threatened taxa as it can provide valuable information for conservation management.

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 ...

The impacts of anthropogenic linear features on the space-use patterns of two sympatric ungulates [PDF]
Movement EcologyAs human activity increases worldwide, many ecologists have focused on how anthropogenic linear features (ALFs) such as roads and fences impact and disrupt animal space-use behavior and how this disruption could potentially affect population viability ...

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.

Journal of Ornithology, 2015 To date, reliable studies on the spatial area use and home range size of the Red Kite (Milvus milvus) during the breeding season are lacking. Between 2007 and 2014, 43 adult individuals were fitted with GPS transmitters in Germany.

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
