Reptiles are the most species-rich terrestrial vertebrate group with a broad diversity of life
history traits. Biotelemetry is an essential methodology for studying reptiles as it …

Despite its well-described role in female affiliation, the influence of oxytocin on male
pairbonding is largely unknown. However, recent human studies indicate that this …

Describing the spatial requirements of animals is central to understanding their ecology and
conservation needs. I reviewed 115 studies describing the home ranges of Australian …

Accurate estimates of a primate's home range are important, yet methods vary greatly. This
paper examines the accuracy of minimum convex polygon (MCP), adaptive kernel (AK) and …

Although prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are socially monogamous, males vary in both
sexual and spatial fidelity. Most males form pairbonds, cohabit with one female, and defend …

Few studies of kinship in mammalian societies have been able to consider the complex
interactions between home range overlap, association patterns and kinship, which have …

In recent years, marine predator and seabird tracking studies have become ever more
popular. However, they are often conducted without first considering how many individuals …

Background Animal movement expressed through home ranges or space-use can offer
insights into spatial and habitat requirements. However, different classes of estimation …

Much attention has focused on distinguishing between social and genetic monogamy in
avian taxa. However, surprisingly few studies have directly investigated this distinction …

Home range estimators are a critical component for understanding animal spatial ecology.
The choice of home range estimator in spatial ecology studies can significantly influence …
