Table of Equivalent Populations of North American Small Mammals

Carl
TL;DR: During 1943, 110 titles concerning population densities and home ranges of about 60 species of North American small mammals, covering most of the titles on the subject through 1941, were summarized by the writer, intended to compare methods and results of censuses.

An Evaluation of the Accuracy of Kernel Density Estimators for Home Range Analysis

D. Erran Seaman, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1996 - 
TL;DR: Computer simulations are used to compare the area and shape of kernel density estimates to the true area andshape of multimodal two—dimensional distributions and show the fixed kernel gave area estimates with very little bias and the cross—validated fixed kernel also gave surface estimates with the lowest error.

Home‐range analysis using radio‐tracking data–a review of problems and techniques particularly as applied to the study of mammals

TL;DR: The review showed that even 25 years after the first radio-tracking studies, in the majority of papers there was still insufficient attention given to accurate and sufficient data collection, and to using appropriate and sophisticated analytical techniques to assess home-range size and configuration.

Grazing Lawns: Animals in Herds, Plant Form, and Coevolution

TL;DR: Natural selection at the individual level, acting on both animals and plants to produce coevolution among members of the same trophic web, can regulate such ecosystem processes as energy flow and nutrient cycling, and contribute to species coexistence and the resultant species diversity of communities.

The habitat concept and a plea for standard terminology

TL;DR: The authors compared the uses and definitions of habitat-related terms in 50 articles from 1980 to 1994 to operational definitions derived from the literature, and concluded that habitat terminology was used vaguely in 82% of the articles.
