摘要: We determined patterns of habitat selection in the winter–spring period by adult female eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) at Yan Yean Reservoir Catchment near Melbourne, Victoria, during 1994–95. assessed two levels radio-tracking 11 kangaroos. The 95% isopleth harmonic mean home-range size (mean = 62.3 ha) was smallest recorded for No range encompassed all types available study area, and mix rankings habitats selected this level varied amongst individuals when compared compositional analysis with habitats. Selection within-range also among differed between night day many individuals, but not population mean. Individuals strongly good foraging within their ranges. In particular, grassy clearings were used day, or both times.
