Spatial distribution of experimental (n = 30) and control (n = 25) forest patches used in this study throughout north-central Indiana, USA.
Figure 2.
Estimated a) density and b) female abundance of raccoons averaged across 25 control and 30 experimental (divided among three patch isolation categories: isolated, intermediate, and connected) forest patches monitored from 2007–2010 in north-central Indiana, USA.
Experimental patches were completely depopulated in 2007 and allowed to recolonize naturally.
