Data from: Indirect effects of habitat amount mediated by habitat configuration determine bat diversity at the landscape-scale in Peninsular Malaysia

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.
