Site specific model estimates of local population size (<i>N</i>) followed by estimated density per 100 m² for <i>S. arenicolus</i> across 6 sites.

<p>Also shown are the standard error (SE) and confidence interval (95% CI).</p

Neighborhood recruitment and diffusion.

<p>(A) Larger neighborhood sizes maintained significantly higher recruitment rates (R² = 0.82, df = 4, P = 0.05; bars = ±SE), and (B) higher recruitment rates generated higher diffusion rates (R² = 0.80, df = 4, P = 0.05). Dashed lines estimate the threshold levels of recruitment, 0.13 (vertical), and diffusion rate, 5,625 m² (horizontal) required to balance population losses across sites and occupy the same area in the landscape (i.e., spatial equilibrium). Sites found above both thresholds (upper right) are identified as sources; the site found below both thresholds (lower left) is identified as a sink (see text).</p

Mean step length, total path length, number of moves, turning angles, and population-level diffusion rates for <i>S. arenicolus</i> across 6 sites.

<p>Standard errors (SE) are also shown.</p

Regression coefficients for <i>S. arenicolus</i> neighborhood size and mean and coefficient of variation in Blowout landcover metrics (Table S2) and blowout habitat variables (Table S3) at 6 sites.

<p>Significant relationships at α = 0.10, 0.05, and 0.025 are symbolized by ^*, ^**, and ^***, respectively (df = 4).</p
