Persistence levels of presence grid cells as derived from the spatiotemporal analysis. Each grid cell that intersects at least one record of coypu presence between 1980 and 2018 is coloured according to the maximum derived persistence level: 1) single record, 2) multiple records, 3) one generation length (multiple records covering at least 5 years), 4) two generation lengths (multiple records covering at least 10 years), 5) established (multiple records covering at least 15 years). One generation length is assumed to be 5 years, following Ojeda et al. (2016).
