Abstract
Fifty-eight individuals of Neotoma fuscipes were displaced an average of 1127 m. The average distance moved by the 28 recovered animals from the release site was 885 m. Approximately half of the recovered animals moved in a direction away from their previous nest sites. No evidence of homing was found. The highest rate of movement recorded was 1600 m in 5 nights.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
