Figure 3

Close-up map of study site. The green boundary represents the minimum convex polygon of the outermost tortoise observations (buffered 12 m). The area shaded in orange denotes the local extent of the 1995 Verbenia Fire (unburned area to the southeast). Centroids of female tortoise activity areas for the proximate post-fire period from 1997 to 2000 are shown with green circles and the same for the long-term post-fire period from 2009 to 2010 are shown with red triangles. Individual tortoise identification numbers are shown next to each centroid pair. Wind turbine access roads and individual turbines are visible in the lower and right half of the image. The Whitewater River channel is visible in the upper right corner.
