Sex drives intraspecific scaling of home range size in mammals

This dataset contains derived home range estimates
from individual-level GPS tracking data of 349 resident mammals
across 18 species in Brazil, as well as individuals' body mass, sex,
and habitat quality estimations. The dataset was compiled to investigate
intraspecific variation in home range (HR) size and its relationship with
body mass (BM) and sex. The study addresses a key knowledge gap in
movement ecology: while interspecific allometric scaling of mammal home
ranges is well documented, it is unclear whether the same patterns hold
within species and for both sexes. This dataset and the associated code
allow researchers to reproduce the analyses made by Giroux et al.,
visualize results, explore sex-specific and species-specific patterns, and
integrate these data into broader comparative studies.
