Mixed models for post-dispersal patch size (original and shape corrected) in juvenile Siberian flying squirrels. (Landscape was considered a random effect and natal nest ID a repeated measures subject. Correlation between predicted and true post-dispersal patch sizes: r=0.53 and 0.52, respectively.)
