Home Range and Movements of the Eastern Cottontail in Kansas

About the author

Donald W. Janes is credited as the author of Home Range and Movements of the Eastern Cottontail in Kansas, a 1959 research publication from the University of Kansas. The study examined the movement patterns and home ranges of eastern cottontails on the University of Kansas Natural History Reservation near Lawrence.

Today, the work is still listed by Project Gutenberg and library catalogs, which suggests it has had a lasting afterlife as a useful piece of natural-history writing. Reliable biographical details about Janes himself are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him through this carefully observed contribution to wildlife research rather than add uncertain personal facts.
