Calculations for “Thought Experiment”.

Data from Opiro (2017). Table A in S3 Table. Data kindly provided by Dr Thierry de Meeûs. Table B in S3 Table. Simulations used to estimate dispersal parameters where there may be errors of estimation for b, S and Ne. Fig A in S3 Table. Simulations illustrating the false signal of NDDD in a field study. Parameter estimates generated for 10 different trap displacement choices applied to the Opiro et al. (2017) study of G. f. fuscipes in Uganda. A. Dispersal distances (log()) vs effective population density (log()). B. Dispersal distance (log()) vs surface area (log()) occupied by the effective population. C. Regression coefficient (log()) vs effective population density (log()). D. Effective population size (log()) vs effective population density (log()). E. Effective population size (log()) vs surface area (log()) occupied by the effective population. F. Surface area (log()) occupied by the effective population vs effective population density (log()). Fig B in S3 Table. Simulations using Opiro et al (2017) data, with or without error. Row A: Results of de Meeûs et al. (2019) for comparison. Row B: Recalculation of Opiro et al (2017) results for varying trap displacements, with error. Row C: Recalculation of Opiro et al (2017) results for varying trap displacements without error.
