“…Similar to previous research, our data suggest that spatial complexity of the habitat and availability of food, water, and shelter impact the size of areas used (Sanderson 1966;Singer et al 1981;Dexter 1998Dexter , 1999Mersinger and Silvy 2007). This was demonstrated by different sizes of areas utilized at our 3 sites.…”

Feral swine (Sus scrofa), a successful invasive species in the United States, have established growing populations in 38 states and are a reservoir of diseases important to domestic swine. An understanding of habitat use and movements is important for the prevention of disease transmission between feral and domestic swine. To assess risk posed to neighboring domestic swine facilities in East and South Texas, we determined habitat use and movement patterns of feral swine within 10 miles of domestic swine facilities, identified similarities in habitat preferences and vegetation types directly surrounding facilities, assessed effects of wet and dry conditions on general habitat use, and determined whether landscape features such as corridors or boundaries influenced movements across utilized habitats. Kernel area values (95% isopleths) for wet and dry periods were different (F2,16 = 6.38, P = 0.005) between East and South Texas. Feral swine preferred habitat characteristics commonly found surrounding domestic swine facilities. Feral swine also demonstrated disproportionate use of specific vegetation types as compared to availability during both wet and dry periods. Additionally, the presence of paved, 2‐lane roads influenced movements of feral swine. The new knowledge of habitat use and landscape movements we present can be used for more efficient application of targeted management and eradication strategies near domestic swine facilities, particularly in emergency situations such as disease outbreaks.

“…A question that is applicable to all such studies is, "Why is the animal at a particular place at a particular time?" (Sanderson, 1966). Other questions deal with the relationship between space use and individual fitness (Parker & Knowlton, 1980;Waser & Wiley, 1979), for which there are few data and many conjectures.…”

“…These include samplesize(number oflocations), sampling interval and technique, and the accessibility of subjects to direct observation, radio-telemetric study, and/or trapping (see Adams & Davis, 1967, Anderson, 1982, Hayne, 1949, Heezen & Tester, 1967, Mech, 1983, Sanderson, 1966, Sargeant, 1979, Stickel, 1954, and Waser & Wiley, 1979, for discussions of various techniques). Social status (e.g., group member, loner, resident, transient), age, sex, reproductive condition, food resources, the presence (or absence) of conspecifics and other individuals, and habitat (forest, open plains, terrain) also influence movement patterns and space use and consequently the reliability of home range estimates (e.g., Andelt, 1982;Bekoff & Wells, 1980Bowen, 1982;Hibler, 1977;Kruuk, 1972;Laundre & Keller, 1984;Mech, 1970;Messier & Barrette, 1982;Milton, & May, 1976;Powell, 1979;Rose, 1982;Schaller, 1972;Waser & Wiley, 1979).…”

Simulations of space use by animals were run to determine the relationship among home range area estimates, variability, and sample size (number of locations). As sample size increased, home range size increased asymptotically, whereas variability decreased among mean home range area estimates generated by multiple simulations for the same sample size. Our results suggest that field workers should ascertain between 100 and 200 locations in order to estimate reliably home range area. In some cases, this suggested guideline is higher than values found in the few published studies in which the relationship between home range area and number of locations is addressed. Sampling differences for small species occupying relatively small home ranges indicate that fewer locations may be sufficient to allow for a reliable estimate of home range. Intraspecific variability in social status (group member, loner, resident, transient), age, sex, reproductive condition, and food resources also have to be considered, as do season, habitat, and differences in sampling and analytical methods. Comparative data still are needed.The way animals use space is of practical and theoretical interest to a wide variety of scientists, including those studying (1) relationships between behavior, age, sex, and spacing patterns, (2) resource distribution as it affects space use, (3) the relationship between metabolic requirements and home range size, and (4) space requirements for purposes of control or reintroduction of "problem" or endangered species

“…Several review paoers have adequately summarized the history of these concepts (Sanderson 1966, Brown 1966, Brown and Orians 1970. 0 historically, the idea of home range developed from data which indicated that an animal normally lives (when one excludes migrations and erratic wanderings) in a rather specified area throughout its lifetime.…”

include the circular normal model proposed by Calhoun and Casby (1958) and a more general model based on an elliptical shape considered by . Jennrich and Turner (1969), and further modified by Koeppl et al. (1973).These models result in an area estimate, and sometime6 a variance statement. The form developed by Koeppl et al· (1973) includes parameters which take into account home range size, shape, and orientation in space.\ While newer models are including more than one characteristic, it would seem that we should strive for models where estimated parameters include the major variables affecting home range. Furthermore, if the concept is to be useful for comparisons within and among species, the model must allow for statistical testing of differences among these parameters. Similar suggestions were made by Mdiabb (1963) and Schoener (1971) who indicated that the home range concept is closely tied to energy requirements of the particular species. They further suggest that factors such as food density, food selectivity and metabolic rate are important variables in the determination of the home range characteristics.Since it is clear that food can be highly variable in space and time, it is likely that home range size and shape will also vary according to this important parameter.There are many other factors which one can visualize as influencing home range. In following paragraphs, we consider examples of these factors and also review some data which indicate their importance in the concept of home range.We wish to thank the staff and students associated with the Cedar Creek Telemetry Project for ideas and data included in this report.
