摘要: Data were obtained on 8 radio equipped wild boar monitored by an automatic tracking system in the Chize Forest, France. Examples of data processed computer are presented. It is possible to go beyond conventional home range determination terms size and shape. A dynamic concept may emphasize occupation biotope. Analysis involved quantification following parameters – maximum (240–425 ha for females, 700 or more males) total dimensions frequented areas (203 342 ha) feeding during nocturnal activity (105 203 volumes (related daily lengths) indices (volume/square unit). This latter parameter, embracing both length areas, be index food availability. Activity rhythm was also investigated. Boars exhibit a typically activity. The onset correlated with sunset.
