The spatial ecology of the Eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) in a fragmented landscape in Southeast Tennessee, Hamilton County
The landscape throughout the range of the Eastern Box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) has been altered significantly since the late 1880s by habitat fragmentation. In this study, the spatial ecology and seasonal movement patterns of the Eastern Box turtle in contrasting habitat types are …

Seasonal Movements, Habitat Use Patterns and the Effects of Human Disturbances on Elk in Custer State Park, South Dakota
… cow-calf sub-herds and five bull sub-herds. Annual home ranges of these herds overlapped a mean of 18% (Range = 9-29%, SE = 3.2, n = 5) for cows and 27% (Range = 11-42%, SE = 5.8, n = 6) for bulls. Home range sizes of CSP elk varied with method of analysis, season, and sex. Mean 95% harmonic …

Space Use And Habitat Selection By Bobcats In Southeastern Kentucky
… assessed space and habitat use patterns. Mean annual minimum convex polygon (MCP) home range size for all bobcats was 14.7 km2 (n = 5, SE = 3.9 km2), and 22.2 km2 (n = 5, SE = 7.5 km2) using the adaptive kernel (AK) method. Mean female annual home range size was 17.4 km2 (MCP, n = 4, SE = 3.9 …

An assessment of Quality Deer Management on a private hunt club in the Virginia Piedmont
… County, Virginia, during 2003-2006. I examined home range dynamics of male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), deer/hunter interactions, and aspects of population dynamics. I also developed a new rocket net method to capture deer using a remote video system that was more efficient than …

Habitat evaluation and production of rock bass in two Virginia streams
… and habitat model outputs. Incorporating the annual home range of the evaluation species into future study designs is recommended to expedite subsequent attempts to validate HSI models.

Distribution and Abundance of American Martens and Cougars in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming
… adult population size of martens based on mean home range size of radiocollared martens in high-quality habitat patches. Cougar population size was estimated using a population program, incorporating parameters obtained from radiocollared cougars (n = 12), the literature, and habitat quality …

Ecology of the Coyote (Canis latrans) at Wind Cave National Park
… and Yersinia pestis, (2) to determine home range and core area size, (3) to index population abundance and determine coyote density, (4) to determine resource selection, (5) to determine food habits, and (6) to document den sites of coyotes in Wind Cave National Park. With the onset of …

Home range dynamics of black bears in the Alleghany Mountains of western Virginia
… Mountains of western Virginia. I examined home range dynamics of bears during 1994-2002 on 2 study areas that were approximately 160 km apart. I analyzed my data with 3 home range programs (AMA, HRE, and ABODE) and determined the HRE was the least biased and produced the most biologically …

Behavioral ecology of wild turkeys
… burned forest areas? I found that within their annual and reproductive period ranges, hens generally used burned and non-burned forest in proportion to what was available to them within the flock and annual ranges. During the reproductive season in Illinois, wild turkey hens exhibited habitat …

Ecology and morphology of the Kalahari tent tortoise, Psammobates oculifer, in a semi-arid environment
… hours). The frequency distribution of body size ranges was indicative of recruitment. Relative age, based on annuli counts, suggested that males were younger than females, perhaps because males as the smaller sex are more predation-prone than females. Linear relationships between annuli counts …

Reproductive ecology of Eastern wild turkey hens in Sussex County Delaware
… season (15 April-15 June). The variation in annual survival justifies the need for continued monitoring of this population. Nest success has been found to be an important factor in overall population success. Nesting habitat variables and landscape variables have been studied before with a …
