- 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 Bird distributions were generated from published and unpublished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.
