Movements and Home Ranges of Feral Pigs (Sus scrofa) in Kosciusko National Park, New South Wales

摘要: The movements of a subalpine population feral pigs were examined at Kosciusko National Park in southeastern New South Wales. Sufficient data collected to estimate the home-range area 20 on basis 782 telemetry and trap locations. Mean (+/- s.d.) size (minimum convex polygon method) for males (35.0 t 22.2 km*2) was significantly greater than that females (1 1.1 +/- 5.2 km*2). Use capture-recapture distances considered inappropriate. A test nomadism suggests that, although home ranges this environment larger those reported other Australia, essentially sedentary. Management implications are discussed.
