Wintering white-throated sparrows (Zonotrichia albicollis): home ranges, aggression and corticosterone
… well studied, few studies have described winter home ranges. I tagged white-throated sparrows (n = 12) in Madison County, Kentucky, with 0.9-g radio transmitters during the winter of 2010-2011. Locations were entered into ArcGIS and home range sizes were estimated with 50% and 95% kernel analysis …

The Wind Cave National Park Elk Herd: Home Ranges, Seasonal Movements, and Alternative Control Methods
… ne/soni) herd organization, movements, and home range size in Wind Cave National Park (WICA) were studied from May 1996 to August 1997. Twenty radiocollared elk ( 10 males, 10 females) were relocated by ground and aerial telemetry. Radiocollared elk were relocated two times/week, resulting …

Home ranges and habitat selection of red-shouldered hawks in Central Maryland: evaluating telemetry triangulation errors
… as habitat use might be misleading. I determined home range and habitat use and selection characteristics of red-shouldered hawks (Buteo lineatus) in central Maryland. The effects of telemetry triangulation errors on these characteristics were examined. Red-shouldered hawk location estimates were …

Winter Behavior and Ecology of Eastern Bluebirds (<i>Sialia sialis</i>): Home Ranges, Habitat Use, and Effect of Weather on Foraging Behavior
… describe the size and habitat composition of the home ranges of wintering bluebirds, and 2) examine the effects of weather (i.e., temperature, wind speed, and snow presence) on habitat occupancy, group size, and foraging behavior. My study was conducted at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Madison …

Utilization of Corridor Habitat by White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Denton County, Texas
… Corridor (RRGC) in north central Texas. Home ranges were calculated using three estimation types. Male white-tailed deer tend to have home ranges twice that of female home ranges. Seasonal home ranges were largest during spring (Feb. - April) and fall (Aug. - Oct.) seasons. Males had …

Use of a Geographic Information System for Determining White-Tailed Deer Habitat Use in the Northern Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming
… determined by plotting point observations and home ranges of telemetered deer on digital land-use maps. Percentages of habitat types within the study area, deer home ranges, and random home ranges were compared to determine selection of habitat components. Components evaluated include slope, …

Evaluation of Methodology Use to Estimate Population Size, Sex and Age Ratios, and Mortality of White-tailed and Mule Deer in the Missouri River Breaks Region of South Dakota
… Mean summer and winter 95% adaptive kernel home ranges were determined for 13 female and 5 male mule deer and 17 female and 7 male white-tailed deer. Summer home ranges were larger than winter home ranges for mule deer, whereas winter home ranges were larger than summer home ranges for …

Winter movements and habitat use of northern saw-whet owls at Assateague Island, Maryland
… I used the fixed kernel method to calculate home range estimates for seven owls. Ninety-five percent home range sizes averaged 122.9 ha (range from 39.7--261.9 ha) but varied in size and shape. I also calculated adaptive kernel, harmonic mean, and minimum convex polygon home ranges for …

Home range, site fidelity, reproductive ecology, and den site characteristics of the San Clemente Island fox
… management but is currently inferred from home range studies on other island fox populations. Additionally, little is known about reproduction and denning of this subspecies, and island foxes in general. To better inform management strategies, I studied the spatial and reproductive ecology …

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 …

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 …

Using Resident Small Mammals to Assess the Habitat Potential of Experimental Biofuels Feedstocks
… feedstocks on deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) home ranges and survival, and compared the small mammal diversity among feedstocks. Small mammals were live-captured across the experimental landscape for 7 months in 2011 and 6 months in 2012 following Pollock’s robust design. There were 4,018 …

Mule deer response to military activity in southeast Colorado
… fifty adult deer and 49 fawns. Female seasonal home ranges were larger in maneuver than non maneuver areas. During the nonsummer period female home ranges were larger in previous-maneuver than non maneuver areas. Fawn summer home ranges were larger in maneuver than previous-maneuver areas. Male …

Ecology of Gray Partridge in North Dakota
… telemetry system until August of each year. Home ranges, movements, habitat use, and survival were calculated by using the telemetry locations. Winter home ranges averaged 117 ha, and were larger than previously reported in North America. Important habitats used by radio-tagged partridge …

Population, Home Range, and Dispersal of Red Foxes in East-Central South Dakota
The population, dispersal movements and summer home range of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were studied in east-central South Dakota during 1974 and 1975. The spring population density of foxes on a 23,319 ha study area declined from 9.2 families/township in 1974 to 7.6 families/township in 1975. …

Seasonal Habitat Use, Home Range, and Dispersal of Wild Turkeys in Southcentral South Dakota
Seasonal movements, home range, and habitat use of wild turkeys in south-central South Dakota were investigated using radio telemetry from summer 1984 to winter 1986. Spring dispersal from wintering sites ranged from 0.2 to 5.8 km (x = 2.8 km). Non-nesting females moved significantly (P ~ 0.05) …

Seasonal Movements and Behavior of Ring-Necked Pheasants in Eastern South Dakota
… capture sites according to hunting recoveries. Home ranges of hens and breeding cocks overlapped during early nesting periods. Hens sometimes nested within the territories of their chosen cocks. Following nest destruction hens sought other crowing cocks up to one mile away. Home ranges for five …
