Combined (2008, 2011–2014) mean number of unique captures by species and reconstruction type at the Schottler Wildlife Management Area south of Austin, Minnesota across the study period. CSG = cool season grass dominated fields, WSG = warm season grass dominated fields, F = forb fields lacking cup plant and compass plant, and TF = forb fields characterized by the presence of cup plant and compass plant. Values represent the mean ± SE.
