Impact of Edge Habitat on Summer Home Range Size in Female Pumas
Abstract
Results of recent studies have indicated that the amount of edge habitat in an area may be an important factor in determining home range size of pumas. We tested this hypothesis with data on home ranges of pumas in southern Idaho/northwestern Utah. The study area is highly fragmented into forest patches and sagebrush open areas. We tested three predictions: (1) the percent of edge would be negatively related to home range size, (2) the amount of edge habitat in the home ranges of pumas would be similar, regardless of the size of the home range and (3) there would be more edge habitat within home range boundaries than in general areas of similar size. Home range size (90%) varied from 29.8 to 118.7 km2. The percent of edge within home ranges was negatively correlated with home range size (F = 22.3, P < 0.001, R2 = 0.53), but amount of edge habitat within the home ranges was not. The mean percent of edge within home range boundaries (16.0 ± 1.4 (se) %) was significantly greater (t = 2.88, P = 0.006) than general areas of similar size (11.3 ± 1.2%). We concluded that the amount of edge within an area was influencing the size of home ranges. We proposed that pumas needed a certain minimum amount of edge (hunting habitat) to successfully hunt their prey and that the amount of “catchable” prey was more important than just general prey abundance.

“Studies by Holmes and Laundré [21] and Laundré and Loxterman [22] suggested that forest edges provide the necessary structural components for successful hunting by pumas, and Laundré and Hernández [40] concluded that use of edge areas allowed a puma to observe deer out in the open and to ambush deer as they moved between open and forest patches.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
