Summary
A field study was carried out during winter and spring of 1982/83 to determine changes in home range size with increasing body weight and maturation in the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) and the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus). Individual home range sizes in males increased and in females decreased with increasing body weight. Relating these changes to changed energetic requirements failed. In these species behavioral aspects seem to be a more important determinant of home range size than body weight.
