Summary

This data release contains the environmental geospatial raster data sets used to estimate summer roosting habitat for 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). This suite of environmental data was hypothesized to influence summer roost habitat suitability and were produced at a spatial resolution of 250 m per pixel.

Purpose

These data are intended to serve as possible habitat covariates for summer roost suitability models and to aid land managers. 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.
