Summary

This data release contains the spatial raster outputs from analyses of summer roost site habitat for each of 4 species considered under the United States Forest Service proposed Bat Conservation Strategy (Myotis lucifugus, MYLU; Myotis septentrionalis, MYSE; Myotis sodalis, MYSO; and Perimyotis subflavus, PESU). The included raster data represent the mean suitability for summer roosting habitat for each of the four species (expressed as a numerical value from 0 to 1), the prediction interval (difference between the 5th and 95th confidence intervals), as well as the environmental covariates used to model habitat. All raster data are produced at a spatial resolution of 250 m per pixel. Summer roost site suitability layers were produced [...]

Purpose

These raster data are intended to aid land managers working in the eastern United States for identifying areas where roosting sites may be available. These raster data are also intended to inform regional (eastern United States) analyses of habitat for these four species: Myotis lucifugus (MYLU), Myotis septentrionalis (MYSE), Myotis sodalis (MYSO) and Perimyotis subflavus (PESU). Summer roost suitability is an important aspect defining a species’ geographic distribution and persistence on the landscape. Maps of summer roost suitability can be used in conjunction with summer occupancy probability to identify areas where bats are most likely to occur during summer months.
