Table 4.
Numbers of species-specific bat passes collected in 2018 and 2019 summers and generalized linear model results (species-specific bat passes versus day of the week and environmental covariates, regression estimate ± standard error and p value reported) at the University of North Carolina Greensboro open site in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA. “NA” indicates variables dropped from the final model. Bold numbers indicate significant results.
