Does estimator choice influence our ability to detect changes in home-range size?
Animal Biotelemetry, 2015 BackgroundEstimates of home-range size are frequently used to compare areal requirements of animals over time or space. Comparative studies of home-range estimators have highlighted extreme differences among general classes of methods (e.g., polygon ...

Effects of prescribed burning on swainson's warbler home‐range size and habitat use
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Prescribed fire is an often‐used tool for managing or manipulating wildlife habitats. However, studies on the effects of prescribed fire on conservation‐priority songbirds are limited.

Marine Fish Movement: home range sizes for commercially relevant species
Scientific DataAbstractEstimates of home range sizes for marine fishes are essential for designing and assessing the effects of spatial wildlife conservation policies and management interventions. However, in situ studies of marine species movement are challenging and often expensive, resulting in a paucity of data on the home range size of the vast majority of ...

Landscape configuration is a major determinant of home range size variation
, 2015 Most animals restrain their movement activities to familiar areas which leads to home ranges. Although understanding both establishment and shifts of home ranges is highly relevant for basic science and conservation, pinpointing the factors that shape ...

Home range size, habitat selection, and mycophagy of sympatric North American flying squirrels
EcosphereThe northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) is a mycophagous specialist (i.e., having a fungi‐dominated diet) which might be displaced following northward range expansion by the congeneric southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans).

Determinants of variation in home range of wild pigs
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Home range is expected to vary with ecological conditions to minimize size while still meeting the biological needs of the individual animal. Understanding the determinants of variation in home range size can be important when trying to manage or control

Variation in home range size and patterns in adult female American crocodiles Crocodylus acutus
Endangered Species Research, 2018 The American crocodile Crocodylus acutus is a threatened species that uses relatively deep, open-water habitats with low salinity. Adult female American crocodiles nest on sandy coastal beaches, islands or human-made berms, assist in the hatching process,
