Figure 1. Schematic view of the predicted least-cost movements of breeding individuals in contrastingly managed landscapes.

Figure 1

Nesting (orange), roosting (green) and foraging (yellow) habitats are shown. 1a. Breeding habitat patches are arranged regularly as small-sized blocks and a close juxtaposition of functional habitats exists. As a result, distances from nests (black dots) to foraging sites (blue lines) are expected to increase with nest-to-roost distances (red lines). 1b. Functional habitats are clumped as comparatively large-sized blocks. As a result, distances from nests to foraging sites are expected to increase as distances between nests to roosts decrease. Note that, despite the fraction of functional habitat is held constant in both areas, mean distances between nests and the other two habitat types are longer in 2b than in 2a.
