Movement Ecology

Table 2 H_o 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

From: The boon and bane of boldness: movement syndrome as saviour and sink for population genetic diversity

N founders	Landscape	MS 1: Shy	MS 2: Intermediate	MS 3: Bold
10	CS3	0.42	0.42	0.39
10	CS1	0.38	0.36	0.29
50	CS3	0.45	0.45	0.44
50	CS1	0.44a	0.39	0.35
100	CS3	0.46	0.44	0.45
100	CS1	0.43a	0.43a	0.33

"a" denotes founder conditions that result in approximately equal H_o under CS1 and CS3 (compensation of lost diversity through increased founder population size)
