Funding was provided by the National Science Foundation (grants DEB 9815834 and 9907365) and by the Department of Energy-Savannah River Operations Office through the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Savannah River under Interagency Agreement DE-AI09-00SR22188. J. Blake, E. Olson, and other members of the USFS Savannah River Institute were instrumental in the construction of the experimental landscapes. T. Chaplin, S. Daniels, E. Franklin, M. Huizinga, C. Murray, N. Perlut, J. Warr, and A. Weldon provided help in the field. A. Whitney, J. Lauderbach, T. Daley, M. Galatowitsch, and M. Rosenbaum examined seed samples. T. Okuyama and N. Seavy quantified movement behavior and helped construct the model.
