Table 3. Mean ± SE (n = 3 or 5 samples) abundance per line, number of recruits, successful pregnancies, and early juvenile survival for Myodes gapperi during 2010–2012 and results of RM-ANOVA for each block (study area). F-values identified by * were calculated using an H-F correction factor, which decreased the stated degrees of freedom due to correlation among repeated measures. Within a row, columns of mean values with different letters are significantly different by Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT), adjusted for multiple contrasts.
