FIG. 4 in Species richness, functional diversity and assemblage structure of insectivorous bats along an elevational gradient in tropical West Africa

FIG. 4. Mean pairwise distances (MPD) of multivariate traits (A and B), forearm length (C and D), greatest skull length (E and F), narrowest breadth of skull (G and H), ear length (I and J) and tail length (K and L) of insectivorous bat assemblages along the Mount Nimba elevational gradient. Observed MPD for each elevation is represented by the blue dots. A blue line of best fit is shown for significant relationships between observed MPD and elevation. The red dots indicate the expected MPD as calculated by 999 randomized community shuffles for figures on the left, and trait shuffles for figures on the right. A red line of best fit is shown for significant relationships between expected MPD and elevation. Instances where observed MPD differs significantly from the expected MPD are indicated by black rings

FIG. 3 in Swarming behaviour, catchment area and seasonal movement patterns of the Bechstein's bats: implications for conservation

FIG. 3. Examples illustrating the recovered movement patterns between maternity colonies and swarming sites. Individuals at swarming sites LA (A) and KG (B) were recovered at multiple colonies. Likewise, individuals recovered at colonies A (C) and H (D) were caught at different swarming sites on the same night. Capture site abbreviations and maternity colony IDs correspond to those used in Fig. 1 and Table 1
