Abstract
The amount of time an animal spends in particular areas is an important aspect of estimating its home range and activity pattern. Calculations of home range using the harmonic mean can be modified to reflect the amount of time or the type of activity observed at each location. The relative time spent at each location may be used to calculate a time-weighted harmonic home range and associated use pattern. This time-weighted harmonic mean approach provides a method for incorporating bursts of relocation data into a home range analysis or identifying activity areas within the home range.
