GIS layer: polygon to clip analyses to extent used in pape

UnityResistanceHomeRangePolygons

These are circuitscape cumulative resistance estimates for 5 buffalo populations (excluding Mudumu, the translocated population) but using home range rather than sampling polygon

AllMainRivers

GIS data: all large rivers in and around Caprivi Strip; these data were used when generating resistance layers describing distance from river

UnityResistanceSamplingPolygons

These are circuitscape cumulative resistance estimates using the sampling polygons for the 5 native populations (excluding Mudumu, the translocated population

Buff118_10classes_SPAGEDI

SpaGeDi file, 10 microsatellite loci, all buffalo except for those in the translocated population of Mudumu, set for 10 distance classes. To change number of distance classes, change "-10" in row two to another value (e.g., "-20" for 20 distance classes

Microsatellite data for 134 African buffalo, Genepop Format

134 African buffalo genetic samples collected 2006-2009 in the Caprivi Strip, Namibia, genotyped at 10 microsatellite loci, presented in Genepop format for the 6 herds (populations) in the stud

VetFence

Location of the veterinary fence on the southern edge of the Caprivi Strip that limits buffalo movements

Post-release mortality in black rhinoceros (<i>Diceros bicornis</i>) after (A) reintroduction and (B) restocking.

<p>Cohort size and habitat quality (estimated carrying capacity <0.1, 0.1–0.2 or >0.2 rhino per km²) explained reintroduction mortality while age class explained deaths after restocking. Age classes conform to Hitchins' A (calf) to F (adult) aging scheme <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0030664#pone.0030664-Beech1" target="_blank">[31]</a>. Numbers of rhino (i.e., n) in each category are indicated above each bar. nd = no data. The dash line across each indicates mean mortality rate for all reintroduction (A) and restocking (B) events.</p

Results summary of the 29 candidate models for reintroduction mortality risk among 89 cohorts and 414 reintroduced black rhino.

<p>Models are in descending order from most to least supported based on Akaike second-order Information Criteria (AIC_c). Leading models from previous analyses without interaction terms <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0030664#pone.0030664-HoeghGuldberg1" target="_blank">[<i>9]</i></a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0030664#pone.0030664-Frair1" target="_blank">[23<i> </i>]</a> are italicized. The model without fixed effects is indicated in bold type. A ‘*’ indicates an interaction term in the regression between two variables and, by implication, predictors in interactions were also present additively in models (e.g., a*b refers to model including a+b+a*b as fixed effects).</p
