Fig. 1: Dietary diversity statistics of the analysed bat species.

a Radial phylogenetic tree of prey detected using the Zeale primers and their occurrence patterns in each of the studied bats. A higher resolution image (Supplementary Fig. 1) and the homologous figure built from the Epp data (Supplementary Fig. 2) are available in the Supplementary Information. b Overall and predator species-specific representation of the arthropod taxonomic orders. The incidence-based figure is available as Supplementary Fig. 4. c Dietary niche breadth measures accounting for richness (dR), richness + evenness (dRE) and richness + evenness + regularity (dRER). The error bars (±SE) of dRER indicate the dispersion of the dietary niche breadths yielded when using different prey phylogenetic trees (N = 50) sampled from the Bayesian MCMC. d One-dimensional species ordination plots ranking species according to the dietary niche breadth based on different metrics. Levin’s index is also included for being the most common metric employed in the literature.
