Silviculture and Wildlife: Snowshoe Hare Abundance across a Successional Sequence of Natural and Intensively Managed Forests
Table 2
Mean ± SE ( replicate sites) number of fecal pellets per ha () for snowshoe hares in four winter periods, and results of repeated measures analysis of variance (RM ANOVA). Columns of mean values with different letters are significantly different by Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT), adjusted for multiple contrasts. Mauchly’s test determined that these data were not correlated among repeated measures.
