Males use 17 to 37 acres (7 to 15 ha), females 3 to 10 acres (1 to 4 ha). Easy access to the home of the Brontes in Haworth and to the Dales. Population numbers vary with the abundance of prey, and they themselves are vulnerable to a range of predators, such as domestic dogs, cats, and foxes. The least weasel has the smallest home range. The least weasel has the smallest home range. Weasel population response, home range and predation on rodents in a deciduous forest in Poland. Home-range size stabilized at 20–24 radiolocations per weasel. It is smaller than the stoat and has no black tip to its tail, although it does have small white patches under its chin and throat. A male’s home range will overlap those of several females, but those of same-gender adults never overlap. Link/Page Citation INTRODUCTION Linked fluctuations in numbers of small rodents and their specialist predators, the small mustelids, have been observed in the Holarctic and New Zealand (Nasimovich 1949, Tapper 1979, Krivosheev 1981, Delattre 1983, Gorbunov 1983, King 1983, Oksanen and Oksanen … Population number. WEASEL POPULATION RESPONSE, HOME RANGE, AND PREDATION ON RODENTS IN A DECIDUOUS FOREST IN POLAND1 WLLODZIMIERZ JFDRZEJEWSKI Mammal Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, 17-230 Biatowieta, Poland BOGUMIILA JIDRZEJEWSKA Workshop for Ecology and Protection of the Natural Environment, 17-230 Bialowieta, P.O. Home range of the weasel population of field voles (Microtus). Weasel, Keighley. Home range sizes vary with habitat, population density, season, sex, food availability, and species (Svendsen 1982). The short-tailed weasel is larger than the least weasel and has a larger home range. The home ranges of long-tailed weasels can vary from 25 to 400 acres depending on food supplies. The family Mustelidae (which also includes badgers, otters, and wolverines) is often referred to as the "weasel family". Weasels (and stoats) were easily captured, and the traps contained food, but were not baited. The genus Mustela includes the least weasels, polecats, stoats, ferrets and mink. In many weasel species, populations living at high latitudes moult to a white coat with black fur at the tip of the tail in winter. They are quick, alert and agile. The ratio was highest at low densities of rodents. Males use 17 to 37 acres (7 to 15 ha), females 3 to 10 acres (1 to 4 ha). Weasel –Mustela nivalis Distribution The weasel is the smallest member of the Mustelid family and Britain’s smallest carnivore. Males mark their territories with olfactory signals and have exclusive home ranges which may intersect with or include several female ranges. Weasels are small, bad-tempered carnivores found in just about every place on Earth except Australia and the Arctic. had two separate ranges occupied in turn. They hunt their prey by detecting scent or sound, then follow their victim to attack quickly, killing them with a quick bite at the base of the animal’s skull.

The predator/prey ratio varied from 0 to 2.5 weasels/1000 rodents.
