, 2016 The spatial scale of animal space use, e.g. measured as individual home range size, is a key trait with important implications for ecological and evolutionary processes as well as management and conservation of populations and ecosystems. Explaining variation in home range size has therefore received great attention in ecological research. However, few

Dynamic home range of the grey-sided vole Craseomys rufocanus: a pilot study
BMC ZoologyBackground Knowledge about home range size is vital to understand social systems and population dynamics of small mammals, as well as dispersal and a species’ landscape use.

Seasonal variation in the ranging behavior of elephants in the Laikipia‐Samburu ecosystem
Ecology and EvolutionAfrican savanna elephants are a highly mobile species that ranges widely across the diversity of ecosystems they inhabit. In xeric environments, elephant movement patterns are largely dictated by the availability of water and suitable forage resources ...

How resource abundance and resource stochasticity affect organisms’ range sizes
Movement EcologyBackground From megafauna to amoebas, the amount of space heterotrophic organisms use is thought to be tightly linked to the availability of resources within their habitats, such that organisms living in productive habitats generally require less space ...

Bald Eagle home range size and core-use areas in an urbanizing landscape
Global Ecology and ConservationUrbanization has contributed to the decline of many wildlife species through habitat loss. To examine how Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) respond to urbanization we used dynamic Brownian bridge movement models to estimate home range size and core ...

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020 Supplementary feeding, although a common practice, is seldom studied in terms of its effect on non-targeted species, such as the brown bear (Ursus arctos). We conducted a GPS-GSM telemetry study on nine individuals (out of about 100 supposedly inhabiting

Revista Peruana de Biología, 2017 The home range is the area where an individual finds the resources for its survival; therefore, the home range studies of organisms are fundamental to know their ecology and conservation status. The Loma’s lizard, Microlophus tigris is an endemic species

Heterogeneity of a landscape influences size of home range in a North American cervid
Scientific Reports, 2018 In the northeastern United States, chronic wasting disease has recently been detected in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations, and understanding the relationship between landscape configuration and home range may improve disease ...

Factors shaping home ranges of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in the Western Carpathians
Scientific ReportsUnderstanding how large carnivores utilize space is crucial for management planning in human-dominated landscape and enhances the accuracy of population size estimates. However, Eurasian lynx display a large inter-population variation in the size of home
