Using home-range data to optimise the control of invasive animals
... For each stoat we calculated one home-range width by measuring the maximum distance (z) between two parallel lines that encompassed all of the kernel, circle or point data for an animal (Fig. 1). This process was then repeated, rotating the parallel lines by 15° increments to give 12 home-range widt ...
