Mixed models for post-dispersal distance between the nest and the nearest forest edge 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 edge distances: r=0.78.)

fixed effect	d.f.	F	p
natal distance to edge	1,41.2	6.75	0.01
natal distance to edge×sex	1,46.3	0.01	>0.9
sex	1,46.6	0.01	>0.9
dispersal distance	1,39.2	0.35	0.6
post-dispersal patch size/shape	1,41.2	11.48	0.002
