Figure 1

Typical types of space use in the European hare Lepus europaeus (following McShea & Madison [[28]]). Dashed circle: 588 m circle radius defining the home-range of origin; the centre of the home-range of origin (star) is the arithmetic centre of the first locations within the 588 m circle radius. (a) ‘Stationary’: each home-range (plain circles) overlaps previous estimates; (b) ‘Explorer’: quasi ‘Stationary but the hare makes short-time extra home-range forays with returns later on; (c) ‘Shifter’ disperser: the individual gradually leaves its home-ranges of origin; (d) ‘One-way’ disperser: the individual suddenly changes its home-range by making a one-way and permanent movement and settling in new disjunctive home-range.
