Home range - body mass relations: a field study on African browsing ruminants.

J T du Toit1.   

Abstract

Home range data were collected concurrently from four syntopic browsing ruminant species in a conserved savanna ecosystem. Mean home range areas were: giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) 282 km2; kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) 21.9 km2; impala (Aepyceros melampus) 5.82 km2; steenbok (Raphicerus campestris) 0.62 km2. Home range area (A hr) scaled on body mass (M) as: A hr=0.024 M 1.38 (r 2=0.99).
