Diffusion and Home Range Parameters for Rodents: Peromyscus maniculatus in New Mexico [PDF]
We analyze data from a long term field project in New Mexico, consisting of repeated sessions of mark-recaptures of Peromyscus maniculatus (Rodentia: Muridae), the host and reservoir of Sin Nombre Virus (Bunyaviridae: Hantavirus).

Ranging Behavior of Marsh Rice Rats in a Southern Illinois Wetland Complex [PDF]
The marsh rice rat (Oryzomys palustris) inhabits wetlands that are often fragmented and isolated by upland cover types. Persistence of marsh rice rat populations and metapopulations likely depends on their ability to enter and traverse the upland matrix,

Toward an identification of resources influencing habitat use in a multi-specific context. [PDF]
Interactions between animal behaviour and the environment are both shaping observed habitat use. Despite the importance of inter-specific interactions on the habitat use performed by individuals, most previous analyses have focused on case studies of ...

Dynamic Range Size Analysis of Territorial Animals: An Optimality Approach [PDF]
Home range sizes of territorial animals are often observed to vary periodically in response to sea-sonal changes in foraging opportunities. Here we develop the first mechanistic model focusedon the temporal dynamics of home range expansion and ...

The effect of roads on spider monkeys' home range and mobility in a heterogeneous regenerating forest [PDF]
Arboreal fauna living in tropical ecosystems may be particularly affected by roads given their dependency on forest cover and the high vulnerability of such ecosystems to changes. Over a period of 4 yr, we followed subgroups of spider monkeys living in a

Home range and habitat use of reintroduced Javan Deer in Panaitan Island, Ujung Kulon National Park
The Javan deer which inhabit Panaitan Island (± 175 Km2) were reintroduced from Peucang Island (± 4.5 Km2) during 1978–1982 (3 males: 13 females). The information of home range and habitat use of these animals were needed for wildlife habitat management ...

The impacts of anthropogenic linear features on the space-use patterns of two sympatric ungulates
As 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 ...
