A Hierarchical Analysis of Habitat Selection by Raccoons in Northern Indiana (2007, background): “Beasley et al. Agricultural Effects on Raccoon Habitat Selection 1125 example, female raccoons preferentially select tree cavities to rear young (Endres and Smith 1993, Gehrt 2003, Henner et al. 2004), making forested habitats critical to raccoon reproduction.”
INFLUENCES OF ANTHROPOGENIC RESOURCES ON RACCOON (PROCYON LOTOR) MOVEMENTS AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION (2004, background): “Home ranges of rural raccoons typically fall within the 40- to 100-ha range (Gehrt 2003), whereas smaller estimates have been reported from urbanized areas (5– 79 ha—Feigley 1992; Hoffmann and Gottschang 1977; Rosatte et al. 1991; Schinner and Cauley 1974; Slate 1985).”
Understanding movements of organisms: it's time to abandon the Lévy foraging hypothesis (2015, background): “…a similar number of body lengths in moving between recorded locations, as they moved straight-line distances of 1 0–1 3 km/day, would probably have covered considerably greater distances if followed continuously, and have body lengths of about 2 1 m (Feldhamer et al. 2003; Morales et al. 2004).”
