Fig. S1. Study area burned by prescribed fire (left) was more homogeneous in burn severity than study area burned by wildfire (right). Home ranges of Mexican fox squirrels (Sciurus nayaritensis chiricahuae) in the Chiricahua Mountains, Cochise Co., Arizona are outlined (adjacent ranges merged into one shape). Squirrels used severe burn at patch edges or where a narrow band extended into low-severity burn (dashed circles). .
