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 A8. Three-way ANOVA tables with repeated measures for density and proportion of meadow vole populations in manipulated habitat patches (Fig. 9). 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. Trapping of voles repeated at biweekly intervals for 22 weeks.
