Identifying the variables that influence animal home range size is important for understanding the biological requirements of individuals and their social interactions. Given their often broad distributions, carnivores are model organisms for studying range‐wide determinants of home range size. Here, we test predictions about environmental determinants of home range size for one of the world's most widely distributed carnivores, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes).

在全球范围内，人类影响超越了赤狐家庭范围规模的生物气候驱动因素

识别影响家畜范围大小的变量对于理解个体的生物学要求及其社会互动非常重要。由于食肉动物分布广泛，因此它们是研究家庭范围大小决定因素的典型生物。在这里，我们测试了世界范围内分布最广泛的食肉动物之一狐狸（Vulpes vulpes）对家庭范围大小的环境决定因素的预测。
