Summary

These data contain the results from the North American Bat Monitoring Program's (NABat) integrated species distribution model (iSDM) for tricolored bats (Perimyotis subflavus). The provided tabular data include predictions (with uncertainty) for tricolored bat occupancy probabilities (i.e., probability of presence) based on data from the entire summer season (May 1–Aug 31), averaged from 2017-2022, in each NABat grid cell (5km x 5km scale) across the range of the species. Specifically, predictions represent occupancy probabilities in the pre-volancy season in the summer (May 1 – July 15), i.e., the period of time before juveniles can fly and become detectable. Predictions were produced using an analytical pipeline supported by web-based [...]

Purpose

The North American Bat Monitoring Program status and trends analyses address the historic lack of information on bat species status and trends. NABat uses multiple streams of bat monitoring data to estimate bat occupancy and abundance and how these metrics are changing over time. This information fills critical knowledge gaps that support the management of bat populations in the face of multiple threats. Bat occupancy probability is a key measure of species distributions and their space use in the summer. Some potential uses of these data include: visualizing grid cell level predictions of species occupancy probabilities, or using predictions to determine areas with a high probability of species presence. Note these results can be cross-referenced to the geospatial data for the NABat 5km CONUS grid, which is available on ScienceBase (see Related External Resources).
