Abstract
Home range sizes of territorial animals are often observed to vary periodically in response to sea-sonal changes in foraging opportunities. Here we develop the first mechanistic model focusedon the temporal dynamics of home range expansion and contraction in territorial animals. Wedemonstrate how si...

Home range sizes of territorial animals are often observed to vary periodically in response to sea-sonal changes in foraging opportunities. Here we develop the first mechanistic model focusedon the temporal dynamics of home range expansion and contraction in territorial animals.

Our heuristic model predicts three general temporal patternsthat have been observed in empirical studies across multiple taxa. First, a positive correlation be-tween age and territory quality promotes shrinking home ranges over an individual’s lifetime, withmaximal range size variability shortly before the adult stage. Second, poor sensory information,low population density, and large resource heterogeneity may all independently facilitate range sizeinstability. Finally, aggregation behavior towards forage-rich areas helps produce divergent homerange responses between individuals from different age classes.
