Although home range and ethological data are believed to be intimately related, they have usually been analyzed separately for lack of a practical method of analysis or reasonable model relating them. We briefly review the calculation of some basic home range statistics and modified methods for estimating home range characteristics. A bivariate normal model shows most promise for such use. The additional calculation of eight points on the confidence ellipses for the location points, and for the activity center facilitates graphic representation of these probability ellipses. A standardized distance, which takes into account home range characteristics, is calculated. We believe this standardized distance may be related to familiarity within the home range, and as such could be correlated with behavior.
