Table 3. Intraseasonal spatial ecology metrics for radio-tracked adult black-necked gartersnakes (Thamnophis cyrtopsis) in Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, Tucson, Arizona, 2019.

Individual (body size) Sex Date (duration) Dist (max) Dist (mean ± SD) MCP (ha.)
THCY004 (551 mm SVL, 43.2 g) F 3 July (7) 10.6 8.1 (3.5)
THCY005 (565 mm SVL, 71.0 g) F 3 July (15) 5.0 1.0 (2.2) <0.001
THCY008 (450 mm SVL, 57.7 g) F 22 August (19) 12.4 4.8 (6.0) 0.014
THCY002 (475 mm SVL, 52.2 g) M 28 June (20) 18.0 2.9 (6.7) 0.042
THCY003 (475 mm SVL, 54.2 g) M 28 June (5) 3.1 1.5 (2.2)
THCY010 (495 mm SVL, 72.2 g) M 19 September (54) 43.6 11.6 (13.6) 1.065

Note:

Date is the beginning date (in 2019) and duration (days) an individual was tracked. Distance (Dist) is the mean daily distance in meters between relocations divided by days between relocations. Minimum convex polygons (MCP) are relative intraseasonal home range sizes (hectares) for individuals with ≥5 relocations. Body sizes are snout-vent length (SVL) in millimeters and mass in grams.
