How Much is Enough? An Empirical Test of the Resource Dispersion Hypothesis Free-ranging dogs (Canis familiaris) thrive in diverse landscapes, including those heavily modified by humans. This study investigated the influence of resource availability on their spatial ecology a...

Pre-print alert!
We've tested the Resource Dispersion Hypothesis in #FRDs.
A huge shout out to all my co-authors. Looking forward to submitting our work soon!!
