摘要：
Average home-range sizes calculated by the minimum-convex-polygon method from radiotracking data for wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) in the Mink Lake area and the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary, Northwest Territories, Canada were significantly larger (897± 118 km<sup>2</sup>) for 10 adult females than for six adult males (433± 128 km<sup>2</sup>) and were significantly smaller for females where the population was expanding. Larger home ranges for wood bison than that reported for plains bison (B. b. bison) possibly were related to habitat productivity and forage distribution; smaller home ranges for wood bison where populations are expanding possibly were related to greater access to forage.
