Longleaf Pine, and Smith Lake sandhills. MNI is number of individuals caught

Includes 4 individuals captured before the bumn
includes 2 individuals captured before the bum.
Includes 10 individuals captured before the bum.



 In the study of home range, persistence (the number of days from first to last capture)
ranged from 1 to 75 days for 10 females and 8 males captured on the Anderson-Cue grids,
and from 1 to 75 days for 10 females and 14 males captured on the Smith Lake grid. The
largest population occurred on the Smith Lake grid in the spring of 1987 and 1988, when
there were 8 individuals. Excluding animals caught three times or less, mean persistence
time on this grid was 196 days for females and 137 days for males.
