Home ranges

Some have also predicted a series of thirdhand impacts that might occur if the climate warms and becomes more dynamic. Wildlife populations would be affected (positively and negatively), as would some vegetative growth patterns. The home range of various animal and insect populations might shift, exposing people to diseases that were previously uncommon to their area, and so on.

Ideally, when small mammals are being evaluated, the treated area beyond the test site should be large enough that any recruitment of study species to the test site will be from a treated area. It is not possible to cover this recruitment area for most bird species and it is often impractical for small rodents, but should be considered. Owing to abundance, home range and recruitment dynamics, small passerines and small rodents are often selected as test species.

Ecologically, female meadow voles are territorial, know their neighbors, and are more tolerant of each other. They exemplify the dear enemy concept familiar neighbors reduce aggression toward one another because they pose less threat to each other than newcomers without a territoiy, who might compete for territory, mates, or resources. Males are dispersal prone, and neighbor relations are more ephemeral. Each male s home range overlaps with those of several females (Ferkin, 1988).
