English term or phrase: MCP
During March–May 2018 we assessed range use from locations of direct observations and indirect signs, corroborated by longer-term behavioural monitoring of the chimpanzees (June 2018–December 2019). No evidence of limited ranging was found. The Wagaisa chimpanzees used an area measuring ≥43 km2 (100% MCP) and ranged extensively in the anthropogenic matrix. Most frequently used parts of the range (‘core habitat areas’) centred around small (5–20 acres), widely dispersed remnant forest patches and exotic eucalyptus plantations. Forty-percent of chimpanzee nests were constructed in eucalyptus trees, suggesting a behavioural adjustment to landscape changes. Actions to facilitate conservation of these ‘village chimpanzees’ and others surviving in transformed human-dominated habitat need not conflict with the sustainable development of the region.

polygones convexes minimaux (PCM)


Explanation:
MCP means "Minimum convex polygon" is a scientific method to measure home ranges.
The minimum convex polygon (MCP) draws the smallest polygon around points with all interior angles less than 180 degrees. MCPs are common estimators of home range, but can potentially include area not used by the animal and overestimate the home range.

Example sentence(s):
  • Les positions télémétriques représentent les positions approximatives des martres; les lignes pointillées en noir représentent les polygones convexes minimaux (PCM) qui utilisent 95 % des points.
  • La carte c de la planche I présente la cartographie des habitats du polygone PCM Colonie
