Home ranges, habitat and body mass: simple correlates of home range size in ungulates.
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 studies have examined multiple hypotheses ...
متن کاملLizard Home Ranges Revisited: Effects of Sex, Body Size, Diet, Habitat, and Phylogeny
The area traversed by an animal during food gathering, mating, and other routine activities is termed the home range (HR), and its size is believed to reflect behavioral and physiological requirements (e.g., access to mates and food). We evaluated both biological and methodological factors that may affect estimated HR sizes of lizards. We compiled a database of nearly 500 published sex 3 popula...
متن کاملEvolutionary predictors of mammalian home range size: body mass, diet and the environment
Aim Mammalian home range patterns provide information on spatial behaviour and ecological patterns, such as resource use, that is often used by conservation managers in a variety of contexts. However, there has been little research on home range patterns outside of the terrestrial environment, potentially limiting the relevance of current home range models for marine mammals, a group of particu...
متن کاملMovement is the glue connecting home ranges and habitat selection.
Animal space use has been studied by focusing either on geographic (e.g. home ranges, species' distribution) or on environmental (e.g. habitat use and selection) space. However, all patterns of space use emerge from individual movements, which are the primary means by which animals change their environment. Individuals increase their use of a given area by adjusting two key movement components:...
متن کاملEstimated home ranges can misrepresent habitat relationships on patchy landscapes
Home ranges of animals are generally structured by the selective use of resource-bearing patches that comprise habitat. Based on this concept, home ranges of animals estimated from location data are commonly used to infer habitat relationships. Because home ranges estimated from animal locations are largely continuous in space, the resource-bearing patches selected by an animal from a fragmente...
