Home Range

Home range calculations help interpret habitat use, social organization, reproductive dynamics, prey utilization, and limiting resources of a population (Powell 2000). The best resources for a discussion of home range is the Final Report for Phase 1, the Ph.D. dissertation by Chris Burdett, and the publication in the Journal of Mammalogy.
