Table 4 Correlations between territory size (TS) and 'five-food patch distance' after Kruuk & Parish (1982). DTESS represents territories constructed by a Dirichlet Tessellation method 85,86 based on information on main sett locations only, and is included here for interest (not included in sequential Bonferroni adjustment) but should not be thought of a necessarily valid test of this prediction. Asterisked P values are those still significant after applying the sequential Bonferroni adjustment.
