Home Range and Habitat Selection of Female Mountain Nyalas (Tragelaphus Buxtoni) in the Human-Dominated Landscape of the Ethiopian Highlands
Background: Human settlement and agricultural activities restrict increasingly the range of large mammals in many cases contributing to declining numbers of ungulates. Here, we studied home range…
Home range and habitat selection of female mountain nyalas (Tragelaphus buxtoni) in the human-dominated landscape of the Ethiopian Highlands
Human settlement and agricultural activities restrict increasingly the range of large mammals in many cases contributing to declining numbers of ungulates. Here, we studied home range size and…
Human-modified landscapes alter home range and movement patterns of capybaras
The expansion of human activity forces species to co-exist with people in human-modified landscapes (HMLs). However, living in HMLs demands behavioral adaptations, and the proximity between wildlife…
Male-Biased Partial Migration in a Giraffe Population
Partial migration is a common movement phenomenon in ungulates, wherein part of the population remains resident while another portion of the population transitions to spatially or ecologically…
Sociability increases survival of adult female giraffes
TLDR
For adult female giraffes, grouping with more other females, even as group membership frequently changes, is correlated with better survival, and this sociability appears to be more important than several attributes of their non-social environment.
Proximity to humans affects local social structure in a giraffe metapopulation.
TLDR
A social network from 6 years of systematically collected photographic capture-recapture data is constructed and it is revealed that giraffes have a multilevel social structure and communities that are closer to traditional compounds of Indigenous Masai people express weaker relationship strengths and the giraffe in these communities are more exclusive in their associations.

Home range and seasonal movements of Giraffa camelopardalis angolensis in the northern Namib Desert
Estimates of home range size of giraffe in the northern Namib Desert were on average larger than those in other populations. In particular, the largest individual home range of any giraffe bull (1950…
Ecology of the giraffe in Tsavo East National Park, Kenya
TLDR
The future of the giraffe in Tsavo East National Park depends on the development of the woody vegetation inside the park, and probably also on the future pattern of land use outside, as some giraffes appear to move out of the park at times.
Habitat use and ecological correlates of home range size in a small cervid : the roe deer
TLDR
The analyses of habitat selection inside each home range showed that the forest types, characterized by high densities of food and low visibility, were preferred, suggesting that habitat use is allocated in proportion to either food or cover or both.
Movements and group structure of giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) in Lake Manyara National Park, Tanzania
TLDR
A comparison with other studies showed that giraffe density, home-range size, mobility and group stability differ across different habitats, and the tendency that more stable groups are found in high density areas might be taken as evidence for the occurrence of resource defence polygyny in such areas.
Home ranges, habitat and body mass: simple correlates of home range size in ungulates
TLDR
Habitat type was the main factor explaining interspecific differences in home range size after accounting for species body mass and group size, and patterns suggest that the spatial scale of animal movement mainly is a combined effect of body mass, group size and the landscape structure.
Ecological correlates of home‐range size in spring–summer for female roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in a deciduous woodland
TLDR
Results showed that females do not adjust their home-range size in response to body mass or age, and instead increased with increasing reproductive success, but the magnitude of the change varied over the period of maternal care.
