|
Testudinidae Home range sizes of Manouria impressa were studied at Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary, Loei Province, Thailand, from January 2010 - June 2011. A total of thirteen M. impressa, consisting of ten adults (five males and five females) and three juveniles were radio-tracked. The median annual home ranges (minimum convex polygon) for all individuals varied from 2.71 ha - 17.69 ha, and were 1.21 ha - 12.09 ha and 0.21 ha - 12.06 ha in the wet and dry seasons, respectively. The median home range sizes within each season and year-round were not significantly different between adult males, females and juvenile tortoises. The median home range sizes in the wet season were larger than in the dry season for most individuals, and dry season ranges did not entirely lie within wet season ranges and visa versa.
