摘要: Abstract Understanding how animals use space and resources in newly colonized, anthropogenically altered habitats is important for species management because fragmented may the landscape differently than conspecifics contiguous habitats. We collected GPS-location data 16 individuals (6 females, ages 1–9 y; 10 males, 2–8 y) from summer of 2011 to 2013 study habitat by a recently established population Ursus americanus floridanus (Florida Black Bear) north-central Florida. Average (± 1 SE) female male homerange sizes estimated using kernel density method were 31.16 ± 8.23 km2 220.93 28.48 km2, respectively. 95% minimum convex polygon estimates 34.49 12.76 females 226.04 45.32 males. Home ranges our area generally larger those reported Bears inhabiting nearby forested Ocala National Forest, indicating t...
