Abstract
Shape of the home range and the distribution of activity within the home range were analyzed for 15 female and seven male Peromyscus leucopus. Ten of the 22 home ranges were circular. In all of the home ranges, the frequency with which animals were recorded in any unit of area in the home range decreased normally away from the center of activity.Keywords
