The seasonal variation in home range size of one male and one female Iriomote Cat <i>Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis</i> was studied by radio-tracking and automatic photography on Iriomote Island, Japan. The study was conducted in the Shirahama area located in the western part of the island. Shirahama provides a small area of suitable lowland habitat (<50 m a.s.l.) for the Iriomote Cat. Two individuals, one male and one female, were confirmed to be resident in this area. The periodical home range size of the male was 1.24 ± 0.41 km² and that of the female was 1.30 ± 0.54 km² throughout the year, with no significant difference between them. We compared the results of these observations with those from another area of suitable habitat in Funaura and discussed what factors may affect male home range size. The home range of the male cat in Shirahama was found to be only half the size of that of males in Funaura, though it showed similar seasonal fluctuation. The home ranges of females were similar in the two areas. Our results provide empirical confirmation of the influence of the number and distribution of females on male home range size in a solitary felid.<br>

The home ranges and habitat preferences of female sika deer (<i>Cervus nippon</i>) on Nozaki Island, in the Goto Archipelago were studied by radio-tracking. Six radio-tagged females were tracked continuously during June, August, October and December 1991. Female deer remained in small home ranges including both open and forest habitats throughout the year. These ranges overlapped to a considerable extent, however, individuals moved independently of each other. The females tended to select open habitats from spring to autumn and forest habitats in winter.

The Iriomote cat, <i>Felis iriomotensis</i>, is a small felid endemic to Iriomote Island, Okinawa, Japan. Little is known of its breeding ecology in either captivity or the wild. In this study we investigated the reproductive cycle from observations of the frequency of male urine marking, reproductive conditions and behaviors of females with young in the field, and with reference to previous reports related to breeding. Breeding of female Iriomote cats may not be seasonally restricted, although a mating peak was recognized between February and April. Females delivered litters between April and June, and maternal care continued until kittens reached four to 4.5 months of age.
