...M. Guppy; S. Guppy; R. Marchant ABSTRACT Territoriality in birds has been studied for almost 100 years, but a quantitative, simple and common unit which describes the position of a home range or territory on a study site, is lacking. Consequently it is difficult to assess, or to compare, any data...

Home ranges of radio-collared animals (which included some overlap) were 22.7 (± 5.1 s.e.) hectares for males and 9.7 (± 1.1 s.e.) hectares for females and extended to the very edge of the highway. Most road deaths, which peaked in September and October...

... ranges of rural cats ranged from 0.07ha to 2.86ha, while those of urban cats were 0.01ha to 0.64ha. Male and female cats had similar home ranges and there was no evidence of seasonal differences in home ranges. The longest linear distance moved by any cat was 300m, so allowing a 20% margin for estimation...

One female provided enough data for home range analysis, and had a home range of 2.7 ha (MCP) or 1.47 ha (KL95%); the core home range (KL50%) was only 0.16 ha. There were no signs that either individual avoided activity during...

Simultaneous point surveys and radio-tracking of two female owls over 14 months in 2009–2010 indicated that owls occupied small overlapping home ranges with smaller discrete home range cores.

These include high availability of prey (in particular, arboreal mammals), quality and spatial extent of habitat, low density of competitors, and relatively small home range sizes of females compared to those in other areas.

Therefore, it seems implausible to argue that calling adult males are occupying habitat that is devoid of, or independent of, adult females (see below about results from radio-tracking that show males and females have overlapping home ranges).
