Mean densities of rodents at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge (solid circles) and Placitas (open circles) study sites. Asterisks indicate significantly different means between sites (Fisher's least-significant-difference tests, p < 0.05). A. Ord's kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ordii). B. Plains pocket mouse (Perognathus flavescens). C. White-throated wood rat (Neotoma albigula). D. Western harvest mouse (Reithrodontomys megalotis). E. White-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus). F. Pinyon mouse
