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 A13. ANOVA tables with repeated measures for mean per capita net recruitment (births - deaths), mean per capita net movement (immigration - emigration), and mean per capita population growth (births - deaths + immigration - emigration) of prairie vole populations in manipulated habitat patches (Fig. 14). 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.
