Association with humans and seasonality interact to reverse predictions for animal space use

Abstract Background Variation in animal space use reflects fitness trade-offs associated with ecological constraints. Associated theories such as the metabolic theory of ecology and the resource dispersion hypothesis generate predictions about what drives variation in animal space use. But, metaboli...
