Table 3 Correlation coefficients (averaged across 10 replicate simulations) adjusted using the Mantel test for isolation-by-distance, using Dps as a genetic distance measure, in black bears in simulated data sets with varying levels of density, genetic diversity, and philopatry

From: Spatial genetic structure in American black bears (Ursus americanus): female philopatry is variable and related to population history
