Site fidelity in space use by spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Animal home ranges may vary little in their size and location in the short term but nevertheless show more variability in the long term. We evaluated the degree of site fidelity of two groups of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) over a 10- and 13-year ...

Home-range size and overlap within an introduced population of the Cuban Knight Anole, Anolis equestris (Squamata: Iguanidae) [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2011 Home-range size and overlap within an introduced population of the Cuban Knight Anole, Anolis equestris (Squamata: Iguanidae). Many studies have investigated the spatial relationships of terrestrial lizards, but arboreal species remain poorly studied ...

Measuring the Degree of Overlap and Segregation among Multiple Probabilistic Home Ranges: A New Index with Illustrative Application to the Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Home range overlap/segregation has several important applications to wildlife conservation and management. In this work, we first address the issue of measuring the degree of overlap/segregation among an arbitrarily large number (i.e., n ≥ 2) of ...

Estimated mink home ranges using various home‐range estimators
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2018 Although the American mink (Neovison vison) is a fairly common and valued semiaquatic furbearing species, studies evaluating space use by mink in North America are scarce.

Factors shaping home ranges of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in the Western Carpathians [PDF]
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

Home ranges of raccoon dogs in managed and natural areas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Knowledge of space use is central to understand animals' role in ecosystems. The raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides is considered as one of the most influential alien mesopredator species in Europe, having the potential to cause loss of local ...

Owned House Cats Show No Preference for Specific Land Cover Types When Roaming Outdoors [PDF]
AnimalsOwned house cats negatively affect wildlife when roaming outdoors, yet it remains unclear whether their movements are determined by selection for specific land cover types.

Birds, 2023 Using satellite telemetry, it is possible to track long-distance migrant birds with high accuracy and greater spatial coverage. However, prior to 2014, less than 1% of bird species in India had been monitored using this technology.

A meta-analysis of home range studies in the context of trophic levels: Implications for policy-based conservation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Home ranges have been widely-used as ecological tools, though using home range estimates in decision-support for conservation biology is a relatively new idea. However, trophic levels are rarely taken into consideration when estimating home range.
