- Abstract:
- Mapping of terrestrial vertebrates rests upon linking a spatial
representation of species-habitat matrices to geographic distribution.
Each model is a combination of distribution region-grown from county
occurrence information in association with contiguous appropriate
habitats. Ranges for all species were based on county boundaries. Habitats
were based on a raster CO-GAP 100 ha MMU land cover data set, with aquatic
and riparian habitats added in from USGS DLG-coverages directly or through
modeling. Habitat association information was obtained from the Colorado
Division of Wildlife - Colorado Wildlife Species Database with updates
from major scientific literature. This portion of the Colorado Gap
Analysis Project produced predicted distribution maps for 597 species.
- Purpose:
- This data was prepared in compliance with the National GAP effort.
Distributions of 18 amphibians, 48 reptiles, 408 birds and 123 mammals
were predicted by county using a variety of sources. Bird distributions
were generated from published and unpublished sources; most notably the
Colorado Wildlife Species Database, and from field reports of the Colorado
Bird Atlas Project and Denver Museum of Natural History publication
Colorado Birds. Mammal distributions were generated from the Colorado
Wildlife Species Database, with cross-checks with the Fitzgerald, Meaney
and Armstrong publication, Mammals of Colorado. Amphibian and reptile
distributions came from the Colorado Wildlife Species Database, and
cross-checked with Hammerson's Reptiles of Colorado. All terrestrial taxa
county constraint models benefitted from review of the Colorado Division
of Wildlife's Scientific Collections Permit Database (SCICOLL). Habitat
relationships for all terrestrial vertebrates were taken from the Colorado
Wildlife Species Database and most recent published scientific literature
on each taxa, with review of collected relationships by species experts.
These habitat relationships were cross-linked to one or several of the 52
land cover/vegetation types delineated on the Colorado Gap Analysis
Project land cover map. Predicted distribution maps were produced for each
species (or select sub-species) based on county of occurrence and habitat
affinities.
