Conclusions: Soil texture, native prairie and grassland cover, and proximity to linear disturbances affect habitat suitability for burrowing owls. Native prairie coverage was considered the most critical variable in determining the most suitable habitat. The higher the percentage of native prairie, the more suitable it is for burrowing owl habitat.*Note that this study generated landscape level models with coarse variables, and the thresholds and values used may not be directly applicable to other areas or for site-specific analysis. Thresholds/Learnings: Synopsis: This report provides information on the habitat suitability requirements of the burrowing owl. Due to limited available data, the model that this...

This dataset represents a species known range extent for Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) within the conterminous United States (CONUS) based on 2001 ground conditions. This range map was created by attributing sub-watershed polygons with information of a species' presence, origin, seasonal and reproductive use. See Gap Analysis Project Species Range Maps for more information regarding data creation and user constraints. For species specific range information, see the attached Range data.
This map shows the potential current distribution of Burrowing Owl, in the context of current and near-term terrestrial intactness and long-term potential for climate change and energy development.

burrowing owl
This dataset represents a species known range extent for Western Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) within the conterminous United States (CONUS) based on 2001 ground conditions. This range map was created by attributing sub-watershed polygons with information of a species' presence, origin, seasonal and reproductive use. See Gap Analysis Project Species Range Maps for more information regarding data creation and user constraints. For species specific range information, see the attached Range data.
Conclusions:Owls avoided agricultural lands (due to prey availability), used grass-forb areas for foraging, and avoided croplands and grazed pasture. 95% of all movements occurred within 600 meters of the nest burrows.Thresholds/Learnings:At a minimum, a 600m radius should be maintained around burrowing owl nests in order to ensure the survival of burrowing owls

This map combines the predicted distributions (whenever possible) and the spp. occurrences (from the FNAI element occurrence database when we don't have a predicted distribution) for the 16 species included in the Wildlife Best Management Practices. This will be used in conjunction with PFLCC's Working Lands Priority Resource, and potentially spatial data on Notices of Intent for Wildlife on Agricultural and/or Forestry Lands. Sources for data: Harlequin Darter, Bluenose shiner, and Blackmouth shiner -- predicted distributions came from Fish Species Distribution Modeling (2013) Crystal Darter, Tessellated Darter, Santa Fe Crayfish, and Georgia Blind Salamander -- spp. occurrences from FNAI element occurrence (from...

The 2011 Prairie Dog Habitat Suitablity Model was developed by the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture using an additive ranking method of six variables based on expert opinion: soil range site, soil psammency, depth to water table, slope, land cover, and wetlands/hydrology. Many variables in the 2011 model are based on a previous 2004 Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) Model developed by GIS Workshop in 2003.
We created ADAPT to help partners make science-informed decisions related to species and habitat prioritization across the Southwest United States. We used Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation (INLA) to analyze the data at a 1-km resolution. We used climate and land use change data generated from CMIP 6 climate models. Count data were from eBird surveys and converted to presence/absence data for analysis. Our model consisted of fixed effects of elevation, land cover type, and effort with random effects for year and site as well as a spatial random effect. We implemented the effect of relative humidity as a spatially-varying coefficient such that the effect of relative humidity on occupancy can vary at each grid...

The Commission on Environmental Cooperation, in concert with a trinational group of experts, has identified North American species of common conservation concern (SCCC). These terrestrial and marine species comprise a group of important migratory, transboundary and endemic species selected from among the continent’s great wealth of wild flora and fauna, which require regional cooperation for their effective conservation.
The Colorado Plateau Rapid Ecoregional Assessment (REA) website has links to the components of the final report. Appendix C, titled Wildlife Species Conservation Elements, contains analyses and maps of species distribution and vulnerability to change agents (potential for change in near term and long term). There are also additional sage-grouse and tamarisk inserts in the appendices section of the report. Data from the report, including maps of species distributions, are shared through the Colorado Plateau REA Data Portal . Data portal maps are downloadable and can be viewed through map services and ArcGIS.com. Analyses were completed for the following species: Black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) Desert...

This map represents a potential Conservation Target (CT) for PFLCC's 'Pine Flatwoods and Dry Prairie' (PFDP) Priority Resource (PR). The potential CT is 'Dry Prairie Bird Index.' The birds included in this index are: Florida Grasshopper Sparrow, Burrowing Owl, and Crested Caracara. These layers were created for an initial investigation of potential CT's suggested by stakeholders during brainstorming workshops. The initial investigation entails locating available datasets to address the suggested CT as closely as possible and performing minimal analyses to determine their usefulness. The final set of CT's and their associated datasets will be chosen after targets (e.g., endpoints) are established as a threshold for...

This project utilizes projected visualization of land cover conditions for the state of Florida at three future time periods. Simulated projected future conditions also vary by patterns in development, levels and types of conservation, and sea level rise. These visualized scenarios afford the opportunity to examine a range of possible outcomes for land use and land cover, and use these scenarios to evaluate the impacts on potential habitat distributions for focal species. For this project, focal species were centered within the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge and impacts. The methodology for this project includes four major steps, which have been found to be effective in previous scenario analyses with...
The Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC) is sponsoring the Sage Steppe Partner Forum to help facilitate collaboration among conservation practitioners and partnerships that share landscape conservation challenges in an eco-geographic context. Draft Partner Forum guidance suggests that field-level managers, scientists, and conservation constituents will, through a loosely structured process, identify priority conservation information and scientific needs that fall within the scope of the Great Northern LCC Strategic Conservation Framework.The sagebrush-steppe biome covers some 480,000 square miles in 14 western states and provinces expanding the SSPF challenge to areas outside the GNLCC geography....

The Washington Connected Landscapes Project will provide a framework to address the interacting impacts of habitat fragmentation and climate change on ecological systems and wildlife species within the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC) boundary.Managing for well-connected landscapes is a key strategy to enhance resilience and ensure the long-term viability of plant and animal populations. However, conservation planning efforts have rarely included connectivity for ecological processes such as dispersal, migration, and gene flow. Connectivity conservation is particularly important in the face of climate change, because many species will require highly permeable, well-connected landscapes not...
