Abundance of all rodent species, abundance of deer mice, abundance of chisel-toothed kangaroo rats, abundance of least chipmunks, species richness, Shannon and Simpson diversity indices in burned and unburned plots (+SE) in the Great Basin desert between June 2011 and April 2014.
The dashed line marks the time when plots were burned; * denotes significant difference (p<0.05) between burned and unburned plots for a given trapping occasion.
Fig 2.
Overall abundance of rodents (+SE), abundance of Merriam’s kangaroo rats, abundance of long-tailed pocket mice, abundance of desert woodrats, species richness, Shannon’s diversity index, and Simpson’s diversity index in burned and unburned plots in the Mojave desert 2011–2014.
The dashed line marks the time when plots were burned. Differences (p<0.05) between burned and unburned plots within a trapping occasion are marked with an asterisk (*).
