Table A4: A Generalised Additive Model to explain variation in
nightly abundance of different taxa of Myotis bats detected at
Middle Earth cave in 2018, using automated acoustic monitoring. The
model used a negative binomial error family (scale = 1) and a log-link
function. Max k = 40, e.d.f. = effective degrees of freedom.
Overdispersion statistic = 1.208, deviance explained = 82%. The
prediction plot from this model is shown in Figure 4 (panels iii-vi).
