The mean number of damaged nuts per tree across all
study sites was 93 (5% of mean yield), however damage
per tree ranged from 0 to 1522 nuts (0% to 83.4% of mean
yield). The distribution of damage was skewed with the
majority of trees (98.5%) sustaining some damage and the
median damage was 40 nuts per tree (2.2% of mean
yield).
Damage varied with the type and size of adjacent
habitat (F(4,543) = 110.96, p < 0.001)(Figure 1). Damage
was significantly higher in orchards adjacent to large,
temporally stable habitats (mean damage per tree 9.9%).
Orchards adjacent to small, temporally stable habitats and
modified habitats sustained significantly less rodent
