Abstract

The article focuses on a study that examined home range, daily movement and seasonal variations of male Reeves' pheasants Syrmaticus reevesii in the Dabie Mountains in central China. It aims to estimate home range, quantify daily movements and examine home range fidelity among seasons and years. The researchers found that daily movements in spring were almost twice than that of winter. It mentions that estimating home range size can provide an important insight into important ecological processes.
