(a–c) Within-module strength (relative importance of patches for movement within modules) and participation coefficients (the extent to which movement occurs among all modules for each patch) for each species exhibiting significant modularity, where dot size is proportional to patch strength and dot colour reflects modules shown in Fig. 1a. (d–f) The changes in rank importance of patches when including modularity into assessments relative to ignoring modularity (using patch strength, wi; white squares), based on within-module strength (zi, grey arrows) and between-module participation coefficients (Pi, dark red arrows).
