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.
