1 INTRODUCTION Home range defines an individual's access to space and resources, and in many species, may both determine and be shaped by interactions with neighbouring conspecifics (Powell & Mitchell, 2012). The size, orientation and distribution of home ranges reflect social and spacing behaviours such as territoriality and co-operation, which can impact survival and reproduction and have important consequences for population dynamics (Chitty, 1967; Kjellander et al., 2004; Krebs, 2013a).

1 INTRODUCTION The shift to more environmentally sensitive agricultural practices over the last several decades has changed farmland landscapes. This includes the adoption of soil conservation practices, including zero-, no-, and minimum-tillage practices, whereby seeds are drilled directly into the soil with minimal disturbance, leaving stubble (residual stems and leaves) from the previous crop intact.
