Y. K. Lin and G. O. Batzli. 2001. The influence of habitat quality on dispersal, demography, and population dynamics of voles. Ecological Monographs 71:245-275.

 

Table A11. Two-way ANOVA tables with repeated measures for mean per capita demographic variables (in situ recruitment, mortality, immigration, and emigration) of prairie vole populations in manipulated habitat patches (Fig. 12). Experimental manipulations included mowing (cover) and supplemental feeding (food) in a 2 X 2 factorial design with 4 replicates. Elevation (2 replicates upslope and 2 downslope) used as a third factor, but not in tables because it had no significant effects. Estimates of mean demographic values repeated early (weeks 8-14) and late (weeks 16-22) in the season.
