Fig. 3

Simulated home-range sizes, H, of an organism living in habitats where the mean and variance in resources are constant, linearly increasing, cyclical, drifting, or erratic over time (but homogeneous over space for a given t). Note how H decreases nonlinearly as \(\mu (t)\) increases and increases nonlinearly as \(\sigma ^2(t)\) increases. Additionally, the variance in H is higher when \(\mu (t)\) is lower or \(\sigma ^2(t)\) is higher, and changes in \(\sigma ^2(t)\) have greater impacts when \(\mu (t)\) is low
