Home range size.--Home range size is a central, but highly complex, metric used to understand a species' ecology (Powell, 2000) and serves as a fundamental first step towards elucidating basic habitat requirements.

When calculated using the MCP method, Bear A's first-year home range area was 5.4 times the size of the mean home range of the other four females, while her second-year home range area was only 0.11 the size of the others' mean home range (Table 1).

To evaluate whether home range and core area were exclusively used, we estimated the home range and core area overlap of pairs of neighboring weasels tracked during the same month, including overlap between adults of the same sex, adults and juveniles, juveniles and juveniles, and females and males using the utilization distribution overlap index (UDOI, Fieberg et al.

Except for the consecutiveness dependent method of Brownian Bridges, where the pattern is the opposite, the males SoB based home range estimations were consistently larger (95% contour: 9.9% to 42.8%; 50% contour: 2.7% to 22.7%), than those resulting from the IT data.

Putting a number of acres or square miles on a home range is deceiving, because it almost implies the area is something of a circle or square.
