Table 2 Ho across simulated populations in the 200th year after reintroduction. Simulations were carried out for 3 different movement syndromes (shy, intermediate, bold) and 3 sizes of the founder population with “connectivity” patch landscapes: CS1, i.e. 100% matrix – movement out of source patch possible, and CS3, i.e. 100% barrier – movement out of the source patch impossible
