Due to a production error, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. There were several formatting issues. The corrected Table 1 appears below.

Final choice of local and landscape features and their abbreviations used for further analysis.
Right column shows examples of literature where the landscape variable has shown a relevance for bats. *Distances were also measured when reaching outside of the 200 m radius.
The publisher apologizes for this mistake. The original article has been updated.
