tabular digital data
https://doi.org/10.5066/P147ZKDU
This dataset accompanies manuscripts "Effects of sagebrush treatments on multi-scale resource selection by pygmy rabbits" (https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.51) and "Spatial ecology of refuge selection by an herbivore under risk of predation" (http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/ES11-00247.1). It is a single table that includes telemetry locations for 16 pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis). The locations were obtained by visual observation of the rabbit. These data were collected in 2008-2009 by Tammy Wilson in Rich County, Utah, USA.
The data were collected for analyzing home range and habitat use.They were used to compute home-range centroids for "Effects of sagebrush treatments on multi-scale resource selection by pygmy rabbits" and survey extents in "Spatial ecology of refuge selection by an herbivore under risk of predation".
