Abstract
In comparison with what has been seen in previous chapters, the study of homing behaviour in mammals is marked by a steady reference to the concept of home range (see Chapter 1), i.e. ‘the area over which an animal normally travels in pursuit of its routine activities’ (Jewell, 1966) during a stated period of time (e.g. a few weeks, a season, etc.). The current trend is to describe home range ize and shape in a probabilistic sense (Worton, 1987). For instance, home range can be viewed as the smallest area that accounts for a meaningful percentage of the animal’s space utilization (Anderson, 1982). Such probabilistic descriptions illustrate the normal, routine character of travels within a home range, and also its necessary complement, namely that travels outside the home range do occur but are infrequent and non-routine. The evidence available for many mammals is that the smallest area in which they spend, say, 90% of their time is one or two orders of magnitude smaller than the surrounding area where they spend the remaining 10%.
