Figure 6From: The dual role of rivers in facilitating or hindering movements of the false heath fritillary butterfly The effect of the river and riverbank habitats to the movements of the false heath fritillary in a hypothetical landscape. The graph shows probability of simulated male (middle column of panels) and female (right hand column of panels) false heath fritillaries to reach a target patch (light blue edges; pointed with an arrow, located on the Western side of the river) within its lifetime, as a function of its place of birth. The results are shown for a landscape with a 50-meter wide low-quality matrix stripe (the river) and symmetric riverbank habitats (panels D-F), a similar landscape in which the river has been replaced with breeding habitat (panels G-I) and for a landscape where the same amount of habitat (in squares) and low-quality matrix as in the artificial riparian landscape has been distributed evenly across the landscape (panels A-C). Parameter values set to the posterior median values of the generalised movement model. We classified the landscapes (panels A, D, G) into low-quality matrix (dark grey) and breeding habitat (white).Back to article page
