Mechanistic Home Range Analysis. (MPB-43) / / Paul R. Moorcroft, Mark A. Lewis.

Spatial patterns of movement are fundamental to the ecology of animal populations, influencing their social organization, mating systems, demography, and the spatial distribution of prey and competitors. However, our ability to understand the causes and consequences of animal home range patterns has...
