Table 1 Description of the predictor variables involved in this study that may affect the spatial individual specialization index of Ia io
Variables | Description |
|---|---|
Body mass | Weight per bat (g) |
Land use | For different land use types corresponding to different land use type indices, bare land = 1, woodland and scrub = 2, grassland, farmland = 3, water bodies = 4 |
Elevation | Local altitude (m a.s.l.) corresponding to each bat activity location |
Road distance | Distance from the road, divided into four categories (< 10, 10–100, 100–500 and > 500) converted into weights, i.e., 1, 0.5, 0.25 and 0 respectively |
Village density | The density of villages within the home range of each bat (No. villages km−2) |
Insect diversity | Diversity index of insects (Shannon diversity) |
