===================

Details for: Supporting_Information.docx 
---------------------------------------

* Description: a text file containing models and graphics of the residual distribution analysis for a multivariate analysis of abundance based on generalized linear models to assess the relationship between cave characteristics and species composition, and cave characteristics and individual species. This analysis was performed in the mvabund package, using the manyglm function, in R version 4.0.3

* Format(s): .docx

Details for: mvabund.csv
---------------------------------------

* Description: a comma-delimited file containing raw data on horizontal projection (HP), the environmental stability index (ESI), number of domes (Dom), holes (Hol), crevices (Cre), average temperature in Celsius (Tave), variation in temperature in Censius (Tvar), average humidity in % (Uave), variation in the humidity in %(Uvar), species richness (Rich), abundance (Abund), and presence/absence of bats found in the caves sampled.  

* Format(s): .csv

* Dimensions: 12 rows x 30 columns
