Model predictions showing the effects of canopy composition on bat flight behaviour. (a) Relationship between increasing canopy cover and the proportion of flight trajectories at risk of collision with vehicles. Ticks represent data for bats flying at heights > 5 m (bottom) and < 5 m (top). (b) Relationship between increasing canopy cover and bat flight speed. Ticks on the x-axis represent sampled speed data. (c) Interaction between mean canopy height and distance to canopy cover on the probability of a flight trajectory crossing the road. Ticks represent data for flight trajectories that followed (bottom) or crossed (top) the road. Shaded areas in all plots represent 95% confidence intervals.
