Fig. 3

Asymptotic spread rates of the sea otter population in Southeast Alaska based on parameters estimated in the ecological diffusion model. Note that the map is presented on the homogenized (4 km) resolution, and the red points represent the epicenters (translocation sites). On the left is a histogram showing the values presented in the map on the right. Note the x-axis is truncated for presentation. Red vertical lines represent the spread rates in areas closed to commercial fishing for prey species important to sea otters
