Side-by-side histograms display the distribution of time between visits to grid cells for each individual over the course of a year. The bin width of each bar is 7 days. Lighter colors indicate returns to grid cells with higher numbers of returns. The number of visited grid cells in each individuals range is included in the top-right corner of each plot to highlight the variability in recursion patterns correlated with range size. Across all individuals the most common time to return is within 8–21 days (the first 2 weeks), but all individuals see at least some returns months apart. Individuals with smaller ranges tend to have higher rates of return and shorter times between returns. Individuals with larger ranges have much longer tails to their distributions, potentially showing support for seasonal returns to different areas of their home ranges
