全球定位系统遥测时代的到来，结合最近的理论创新，制定不同的生态力量和行为机制如何塑造动物空间使用模式的定量描述，导致了新的兴趣和深入了解动物的家园范围模式。由于这些经验和理论进步之间的持续协同作用，这种复兴可能会继续下去。在这篇文章中，我回顾了过去十年中发生的关键发展，这些发展促进了我们对动物家园生态的理解。然后，我概述了我认为重要的未来方向，进一步提高我们的能力，了解和预测哺乳动物的家域模式。未来研究的有趣方向包括改善对动物运动决策的环境和社会背景以及由此产生的空间使用模式的见解;量化记忆在动物运动决策中的作用;并研究这些进展在我们对动物运动行为和空间使用的理解中的相关性，以解决有关动物种群的人口统计学和丰度的问题。
Abstract The coming of age of global positioning system telemetry, in conjunction with recent theoretical innovations for formulating quantitative descriptions of how different ecological forces and behavioral mechanisms shape patterns of animal space use, has led to renewed interest and insight into animal home-range patterns. This renaissance is likely to continue as a result of ongoing synergies between these empirical and theoretical advances. In this article I review key developments that have occurred over the past decade that are furthering our understanding of the ecology of animal home ranges. I then outline what I perceive as important future directions for furthering our ability to understand and predict mammalian home-range patterns. Interesting directions for future research include improved insights into the environmental and social context of animal movement decisions and resulting patterns of space use; quantifying the role of memory in animal movement decisions; and examining the relevance of these advances in our understanding of animal movement behavior and space use to questions concerning the demography and abundance of animal populations.
