Spatial and Activity Patterns of Wild Boars in Tuscany, Italy

摘要: Home ranges and core areas of 25 radiocollared wild boars ( Sus scrofa ) in Tuscany, Italy, were studied by a method building buffer area on both sides the lines connecting radiolocation points chronological order. Core males more scattered within entire less intensively used than females. All <1.0 km2, while mean monthly home varied from 1.1 to 3.9 km2 with largest October–December. females overlapped extensively, whereas those appeared be exclusive. Habitat choices did not show significant trends except for some specific situations, suggesting that analyses internal anatomies are limited use absence information social ecological contexts. The boar mostly nocturnal rested during daytime forested habitats. Comparison previous work suggests remarkable plasticity spatial activity patterns species.
