摘要: Abstract The Flint Hills region of Kansas and Oklahoma encompasses the largest, contiguous tallgrass prairie in North America is an important conservation area for many tallgrass-prairie species. We conducted a radiotelemetry study with use temperature-sensitive transmitters to characterize spatial ecology two species snakes within portion this grassland. monitored Eastern Yellow-Bellied Racers (Coluber constrictor flaviventris) from 2006 2008 Great Plains Rat Snakes (Pantherophis emoryi) 2007 at Konza Prairie Biological Station northern Hills. Although racers (mean = 67.3 ± 10.6 m, n 12) rat 41.3 4.7 m, differed distance moved per day, they did not differ significantly home-range size. minimum convex polygon (MCP) home range averaged 11.45 ha (SE 3.06, 15.06 ha 2.48, snakes. By analyzing autocorrelation locations (M...
