Results of simulation scenario 1a. Average estimates of log(home-range size) (first and third row) and changes of log(home-range size) (second and fourth row) from 1000 realizations of animals moving according to simulation model 1a at different analysis intervals (rows) and sampling rates (rows). We present results for all six estimators (different colors), two analysis intervals, and three sampling rates. We required at least 20 relocations for any combination of sampling rate and analysis interval. Hence, we did not considered weekly home ranges for 2 observations per day
