The Seabed Makes the Dolphins: Physiographic Features Shape the Size and Structure of the Bottlenose Dolphin Geographical Units

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a cosmopolitan delphinid, regularly present in the Mediterranean Sea. According to previous studies, this dolphin tends to form resident geographical units scattered on the continental shelf.

Trophic patterns and home‐range size of two generalist urban carnivores: a review

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, 2018
Foxes and cats are the most abundant medium-sized urban carnivores. To date, however, there has been a lack of effort to synthesize data on the spatial and trophic resources used by these two carnivores, despite the importance of this information for ...

Effects of Supplemental Feeding on Home Range Size and Survival of Northern Bobwhites in South Georgia

open access: yesQuail, 2017
We studied the effects of supplemental feeding on fall-spring covey home range size and survival of radio-marked northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) for 3 years in southwest Georgia. A total of 372 radio-marked bobwhites were monitored on 2 separate

Correlates of home range sizes of giraffes, Giraffa camelopardalis [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Behaviour, 2019
Abiotic, biotic and human influences are factors that can affect animal home ranges. We calculated home range sizes of adult giraffes in the Tarangire-Manyara region of northern Tanzania (N = 132 giraffes with data collected over 6 years), and investigated correlations between home range sizes and environmental and anthropogenic factors (for a subset ...

Home range and habitat use of reintroduced Javan Deer in Panaitan Island, Ujung Kulon National Park

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
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 ...

FACTORS INFLUENCING HOME-RANGE SIZE IN SUBADULT BROWN BEARS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mammalogy, 2006
Most studies of animals’ home-range sizes have focused on adults, and the home ranges of subadults are usually, at best, only mentioned anecdotally. In this paper we report home-range sizes of 56 philopatric sexually immature (1.5- and 2.5-year-old) brown bears (Ursus arctos) in 2 Swedish study areas and how size is influenced by sex, age, body size ...

Disparate home range dynamics reflect nutritional inadequacies on summer range for a large herbivore

open access: yesEcosphere
The spatial distribution of animals has consequences for nutrition, predator–prey dynamics, spread of diseases, and population dynamics in general. Animals must establish a home range to secure adequate resources to fuel their energy needs.

Drivers of habitat quality for a reintroduced elk herd

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Understanding spatiotemporal variation in habitat quality is essential for guiding wildlife reintroduction and restoration programs. The habitat productivity hypothesis posits that home range size is inversely related to habitat quality. Thus, home range
