Fig. 1. Study location. Map of Lipsi Island, Greece. Yellow dots indicate the nine urban sites and red dots indicate the nine rural sites (created in QGIS, satellite imagery from ESRI, 2011).
Fig. 2. Effects of urbanisation on butterflies. (A) Abundance, (B) species richness, and (C) Shannon diversity of butterflies at nine urban and nine rural sites. The black boxplots illustrate the median (bold black line), interquartile range (box margins), 1.5 × interquartile range (whiskers), and outliers (black data points), whilst the mean ± SE are represented by the green diamond and whiskers.
Fig. 3. Effects of urbanisation on birds. (A) Abundance, (B) species richness, and (C) Shannon diversity of birds at nine urban and nine rural sites. The black boxplots illustrate the median (bold black line), interquartile range (box margins), 1.5 × interquartile range (whiskers), and outliers (black data points), whilst the mean ± SE are represented by the green diamond and whiskers.
Fig. 4. Effects of urbanisation on vegetation. Percentage cover of (A) bare ground, (B) shrubs, (C) trees, and (D) plants, (E) plant species richness, and (F) Shannon diversity of plants at nine urban and nine rural sites. The black boxplots illustrate the median (bold black line), interquartile range (box margins), 1.5 × interquartile range (whiskers), and outliers (black data points), whilst the mean ± SE are represented by the green diamond and whiskers.
Fig. 5. Effects of urbanisation on community composition.Non-metric multidimensional scaling of (A) butterfly, (B) bird, and (C) vegetation community composition. The black circles represent the sites, the red crosses indicate the species, and ellipses indicate the standard deviation of urban (blue) and rural (red) sites. The stress indicates the reliability of the points in two dimensions (lower values of stress equate to higher confidence).
Fig. 1. Study location. Map of Lipsi Island, Greece. The red square indicates the location of Lipsi Island in the Aegean Sea. Yellow dots indicate the nine urban sites and red dots indicate the nine rural sites (created in QGIS, satellite imagery from ESRI, 2011).
