Abstract
The impacts of fragmentation are often overlooked in landscape studies investigating how habitat loss impacts biodiversity, despite the casual relationship linking both processes. As habitat loss is the primary cause of fragmentation, understanding the inter-related effects of these twin processes on biodiversity is key to minimise biodiversity loss. Here we assess how habitat amount and configuration influence insectivorous bat assemblages, considering both the direct effects of these processes, as well as the indirect effects of habitat amount mediated through configuration.

"Bat response" dataset
This data depicts the different measures of bat diversity recorded at the different study sites.
SITE: location where the acoustic recorder was set. Sites starting with CF were located on the mainland, and sites starting with Is were islands.
RICHNESS: sonotype richness recorded at each site
ACTIVITY: acoustic activity recorded at each site
FOREST: acoustic activity of forest foragers recorded at each site
EDGE: acoustic activity of edge foragers recorded at each site
OPEN SPACE : acoustic activity of open-space foragers recorded at each site
"Landscape metrics" dataset
This data depicts the chracteristics of the circular lansdcapes surounding each acoustic recorder. Each page of the the file corresponds to the radii of the buffer used, ranging between 250m and 1000m.
SITE: location where the acoustic recorder was set. Sites starting with CF were located on the mainland, and sites starting with Is were islands.
EDGE_DENSITY: ration between the edge length in the landscape and the total landscape area
NUMBER_OF_PATCHES: number of forest patches in the landscape
PERCENT_COVER: percentage of forest cover in the landscape
DIST_TO_EDGE: Euclidian distance between the recorder and the nearest forest edge
