- Abstract:
-
Mapping of terrestrial vertebrates rests upon linking a
spatial representation of species-habitat association matrix
to geographic distribution. Each model is a
combination of breeding distribution and available breeding
habitats within that range. Ranges for all species were based
on county boundaries. Habitats were based on a raster AR-GAP 100ha
MMU Landcover dataset and TIGER water, Habitat association matrixes
were obtained from literature. This portion of the GAP project produced
predicted distribution maps for 322 species.
- Purpose:
-
This data was prepared in compliance with the National
GAP effort.Distributions of 67 mammals, 144 breeding birds, and 109 reptiles and amphibians were
predicted by county using a variety of sources. Bird distributions were generated from
published and unpublished sources and final predicted distributions were reviewed by a
panel of professional ornithologists and amateur bird watchers. Mammal distributions were
generated primarily based on museum specimens at Arkansas State University and
University of Arkansas at Monticello. Reptile and amphibian distributions were digitized
from Conant and Collins' (1991) book. Habitat relationships for all terrestrial vertebrates
were taken from published works on each taxa and cross-walked into six vegetation
classifications based on the land cover map. Predicted distribution maps were produced
for each species based on county of occurrence and habitat affinities. Vegetation units
were also further classified as optimal, suitable, or marginal for each species.
