Despite the global distribution of free\u2010ranging domestic dogs <jats:italic>Canis familiaris<\/jats:italic> and their role as reservoirs for zoonotic diseases, little is known about the dynamics of their space use. We deployed GPS loggers on owned but free\u2010ranging dogs from six villages in rural Chad, and tracked the movements of 174 individuals in the dry season and 151 in the wet season. We calculated 95% and core home ranges using auto\u2010correlated kernel density estimates (AKDE<jats:sub>95<\/jats:sub> and AKDE<jats:sub>core<\/jats:sub>), determined the degree to which their movements were predictable, and identified correlates of movement patterns. The median AKDE<jats:sub>95<\/jats:sub> range in the dry season was 0.54\u00a0km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> and in the wet season was 0.31\u00a0km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, while the median AKDE<jats:sub>core<\/jats:sub> range in the dry season was 0.08\u00a0km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> and in the wet season was 0.04\u00a0km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>. Seasonal variation was, in part, related to owner activities; dogs from hunting households had ranges that were five times larger in the dry season. At least 70% of individuals were more predictably \u201cat home\u201d (&lt;50\u00a0m from the household) throughout the day in the dry season, 80% of dogs demonstrated periodicity in activity levels (speed), and just over half the dogs exhibited periodicity in location (repeated space use). In the wet season, dogs mostly exhibited 24\u2010h cycles in activity and location, with peaks at midday. In the dry season, dogs exhibited both 12\u2010 and 24\u2010h cycles, with either a single peak at midday, or one peak between 06:00 and 12:00 and a second between 18:00 and 22:00. Strategies to control canine\u2010mediated zoonoses can be improved by tailoring operations to the local spatial ecology of free\u2010ranging dogs. Interventions using a door\u2010to\u2010door strategy in rural Chad would best conduct operations during the dry season, when access to dogs around their household more reliably exceeds 70% throughout the day. Given the importance of use in hunting for explaining variation in dog space\u2010use, targeting approaches to disease control at the household level on the basis of owner activities offers potential to improve access to dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/eap.2328","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,20]],"date-time":"2021-03-20T08:15:20Z","timestamp":1616228120000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Spatial and temporal dynamics of space use by free\u2010ranging domestic dogs <i>Canis familiaris<\/i> in rural Africa"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Jared K.","family":"Wilson\u2010Aggarwal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environment and Sustainability Institute University of Exeter Penryn TR10 9FE Cornwall United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cecily E.
