Table 2. Home range metrics of female A. femoralis.
MCP95 and KUD95 estimates of HR metrics of A. femoralis females from 3 datasets are shown. We calculated ‘cumulative HR’ and ‘center of use’ from the complete dataset without correcting for different tracking durations (1). We calculated the ‘HR after 14 days’ to compare the area covered by different females after an equivalent number of tracking days (2). We determined the ‘HR excluding courtship and mating’ from a reduced dataset to quantify the effect of reproduction on the female HR (3).
| Home range metric | Estimator | N | Average ± SD | Range (tracking time) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cumulative HR (m2) | MCP95 | 17 | 107.4 ± 108.7 | 6.3 (38 h)–419.1 (148.1 h) |
| Cumulative HR (m2) | KUD95 | 17 | 215.3 ± 180.9 | 30.3 (60 h)–657.6 (148.1 h) |
| Centers of use (m2) | KUD30 | 17 | 20.7 ± 18.8 | 2.4–66 |
| HR after 14 days (m2) | MCP95 | 9 | 123.07 ± 88.85 | 24.8–285.2 |
| HR after 14 days (m2) | KUD95 | 9 | 236.2 ± 172.5 | 59.7–564.9 |
