from Part II - Ecology and Captive Management
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 February 2020
Mammalian activity budgets are directly linked to an animal’s metabolism and energy requirements, which may change with the seasons and throughout an individual’s life span (Halle and Stenseth, 2000). Comparisons of activity patterns, including locomotor patterns under different ecological conditions, allow for exploration of ecological influences on animal behaviour and consequently in behavioural strategies (Onderdonk and Chapman, 2000; Warren and Crompton, 1998). Measures of group size, life history and activity budget, including locomotion and positional behaviour, are considered crucial for conservation management and hypothesis testing in behavioural ecology.
