A fresh look at an old concept: home-range estimation in a tidy world [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 A rich set of statistical techniques has been developed over the last several decades to estimate the spatial extent of animal home ranges from telemetry data, and new methods to estimate home ranges continue to be developed.

Dynamic changes in the home range of the subterranean rodent Myospalax baileyi
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 As ecosystem engineers, subterranean rodents excavate and inhabit burrow systems. However, the changes in their use of underground space are poorly recorded.

Comparison of two sampling protocols and four home-range estimators using radio-tracking data from urban badgers Meles meles [PDF]
, 2008 Radio-telemetry is often the method of choice for studies of species whose behaviour is difficult to observe directly. However, considerable debate has ensued about the best way of deriving home-range estimates.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Reproductive interference can shape regional distribution patterns in closely related species, if prezygotic isolation barriers are weak. The study of such interaction could be more challenging in nuptial gift‐giving species due to the direct nutritional

Standardising Home Range Studies for Improved Management of the Critically Endangered Black Rhinoceros. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Comparisons of recent estimations of home range sizes for the critically endangered black rhinoceros in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park (HiP), South Africa, with historical estimates led reports of a substantial (54%) increase, attributed to over-stocking and ...

Life path analysis: scaling indicates priming effects of social and habitat factors on dispersal distances [PDF]
, 2001 1. Movements of many animals along a life-path can be separated into repetitive ones within home ranges and transitions between home ranges. We sought relationships of social and environmental factors with initiation and distance of transition movements

Territoriality drives patterns of fixed space use in Caribbean parrotfishes
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Animals often occupy home ranges where they conduct daily activities. In many parrotfishes, large terminal phase (TP) males defend their diurnal (i.e., daytime) home ranges as intraspecific territories occupied by harems of initial phase (IP) females ...

Breeding and wintering home ranges of the black-faced spoonbill Platalea minor
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020 It is important to the study sites for breeding, wintering, and stopovers of migratory birds to understand their habitat characteristics. Black-faced spoonbills Platalea minor are an internationally endangered migratory bird.

Spatio-temporal home range of the dominant rodent species in Mabira central forest reserve, Uganda
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Background Rodents form the largest order among mammals in terms of species diversity, and home range is the area where an individual normally moves during its normal daily activities.
