1. The minimum link length (Y intercept from Table 2) from each population was used as as a guide to the length of a side of the capture zone square. The measuring square side length from Figure 6 was 5.5 mm for all populations. Ratios of 2 and 3 were chosen for illustration purposes with no attempt to optimize the fit to observed values. 2. exp are values predicted by the capture zone model, obs are values from Table 1. 3. Squares containing 4 (1), 5 (2) and 6 (1) are included for population 97–86. 4. df are the degrees of freedom used to obtain the p values above them.
