  2. Home range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_range

    The concept of a home range was introduced by W. H. Burt in 1943. He drew maps showing where the animal had been observed at different times. An associated concept is the utilization distribution which examines where the animal is likely to be at any given time. Data for mapping a home range used to be gathered by careful observation, but in ...

  3. Territory (animal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territory_(animal)

    The home ranges of different groups of animals often overlap, and in these overlap areas the groups tend to avoid each other rather than seeking to confront and expel each other. Within the home range there may be a core area that no other individual group uses, but, again, this is as a result of avoidance.

  4. Bhattacharyya distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhattacharyya_distance

    In statistics, the Bhattacharyya distance is a quantity which represents a notion of similarity between two probability distributions. [1] It is closely related to the Bhattacharyya coefficient, which is a measure of the amount of overlap between two statistical samples or populations.

  5. Eastern deer mouse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_deer_mouse

    The pups within litters of deer mice are kept by the mother within an individual home range. Deer mice typically live in a home range of 242 to 3000 square meters. Although deer mice live in individual home ranges, these ranges do tend to overlap. When overlapping occurs, it is more likely to be with opposite sexes rather than with the same sex ...

  6. Sympatric speciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympatric_speciation

    On one extreme is allopatry, in which the overlap is zero (no gene flow), and on the other extreme is sympatry, in which the ranges overlap completely (maximal gene flow). The varying definitions of sympatric speciation fall generally into two categories: definitions based on biogeography, or on population genetics.

  7. Barred owl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barred_owl

    The breeding range's mean home size in Washington was 321 ha (790 acres), while it was 971 ha (2,400 acres) in the non-breeding season. Barred owl bathing in Brett Woods, Fairfield CT US. The ranges of pairs overlaps in the breeding season, at 87–95% range overlap, but decreases down to 45% after hatching. [91]

  8. Morisita's overlap index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morisita's_overlap_index

    Morisita's overlap index, named after Masaaki Morisita, is a statistical measure of dispersion of individuals in a population. It is used to compare overlap among samples (Morisita 1959). This formula is based on the assumption that increasing the size of the samples will increase the diversity because it will include different habitats (i.e ...
