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 …

Seasonal Movements, Habitat Use Patterns and the Effects of Human Disturbances on Elk in Custer State Park, South Dakota
… 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 mean …

The Comparative Ecology of the Brown Hyaena (Hyaena brunnea) in Makgadikgadi National Park and a Neighbouring Community Cattle Area in Botswana
… important food types were fed on as they became seasonally available. In the Makgadikgadi National Park zebra was the most important food source although several other food types were seasonally important. In the pastoralist areas dietary breadth was similar over the lean and the peak seasons, …

Relationship of Ruffed Grouse Home Range Size and Movement to Landscape Characteristics in Southwestern Virginia
… on ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) home range size and movement, and examined grouse selection for specific landscape characteristics and cover types. Grouse home ranges and movement patterns derived from telemetry data gathered from fall 1996 through fall 1998 were overlaid onto a …

Movement Patterns of White-Tailed Deer in East Central South Dakota Relative to Winter Ranges and Management Unit Boundaires
… Primary objectives of the study were to document seasonal movement patterns and survival rates for adult, female white-tailed deer in this region. Secondary objectives were to calculate seasonal home ranges, seasonal movement strategies relative to management unit boundaries and physiographic …

Ecology of mule deer on the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site, Colorado
… (λ) was 1.01, indicating a stable population. Seasonal home range size differed (p < 0.05) between males and females only in the fall. Females preferred pinyon-juniper woodland in all seasons, and shrub grassland in winter, summer and fall; proportional use of woodland/open grassland and …

Conserving widely distributed wildlife species in an African savanna: parks, cattle-grazing and community-managed areas
… causal mechanisms and degree of abundance or range declines. Working in an African savanna, where bushmeat hunting and cattle-grazing are considered the greatest threats to wildlife, this thesis combined three approaches to study the conservation ecology of widely distributed wildlife at three …

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 …

Movement and Association of White-Tailed Deer in Southwest Minnesota
… of southwest Minnesota, assessing the effects of seasonal movements is fundamental to white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population management. Understanding seasonal movement is critical to assessing the frequency of deer association and estimating risk for transmission of chronic wasting …
