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 A12. ANOVA tables with repeated measures for mean per capita demographic variables (in situ recruitment, mortality, immigration, and emigration) of meadow vole populations in manipulated habitat patches (Fig. 13). 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 only included in tables if it had a significant main effect or a significant interaction with food or cover. Estimates of mean demographic values repeated early (weeks 8-14) and late (weeks 16-22) in the season.
