Corridor Project Data, Fly Dispersal from Central Patch, Savannah River Site, SC USA, 2001

These data document the dispersal pattern of house flies in the Corridor Project experimental landscapes. Each landscape consists of five open habitat patches surrounded by a mature pine plantation matrix. One central patch is surrounded by four peripheral patches. The central patch is connected to one peripheral patch by a corridor; the three remaining unconnected peripheral patches have either a rectangular or winged shape. Fly dispersal patterns were traced by releasing flies in the center patch and recapturing them in the peripheral patches.
