摘要：
Examined the influence of using point and sequential locations for determining Canis latrans home-range size, using minimum convex polygon, 95% ellipse estimate, and 95% harmonic-mean activity area. For a given method, home-range size did not differ based on point and sequential locations. Time of day that locations were obtained and variation among individuals explained 91-93% of observed variation in home-range size. Minimum number of point locations required to adequately delineate home-range size ranged from 23-33 and 28-36 during day and night, respectively. Minimum number of tracking sessions necessary to delineate home-range size ranged from 4-6 and 5-9 during day and night, respectively. -from Authors
