  1. C, Central release point; E, edge release point; MRRPT, mark–release–recapture pilot trial; MRRI, MRRII, mark–release–recapture one and two experiments, respectively
  2. aFor MRRI, E had an additional trap at 150 m (two traps were mistakenly labelled 150.14 so one became 150.14B), bringing the total number of traps at E to 61
