Susanne Fork, Andrea Woolfolk, Antonia Akhavan, Eric Van Dyke, Shirley Murphy, Bree Candiloro, Todd Newberry, Sondra Schreibman, Joshua Salisbury, and Kerstin Wasson. 2015. Biodiversity effects and rates of spread of nonnative eucalypt woodlands in central California. Ecological Applications 25:2306–2319. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-1943.1

Appendix C. Average abundances of species found in oak and eucalypt woodlands. Green highlighted values denote statistically significant differences in abundance (t-test, P = 0.05).  Orange highlighted values indicate species that are absent from one woodlot type, but present in three sites of the other type. (* = non-native spp.)
