Table 1 Scaled effect sizes of the immediately previous year association strengths and roost co-occurrence probability on the association strengths between adult female little brown myotis in the focal year based on a Multiple Regression Quadratic Assignment Procedure (MRQAP). Asterisks indicate signifcant results based on a P value of < 0.05.

  1. Estimates of effect size can then be compared to determine which factor was more influential, and to what magnitude, on observed roosting association patterns in the focal year.
