Range and Habitat Preferences of Northern Long-Eared Bats in Nebraska
| 项目名称： | Range and Habitat Preferences of Northern Long-Eared Bats in Nebraska |
| 摘要： | The proposed listing of the Northern long-eared bat under the United States (US) endangered species act would require projects account for potential "take" (i.e. any mortalities, including inadvertent or accidental and potential habitat destruction) of the species. The distribution and habitat needs of this species within Nebraska are poorly understood but imperative to evaluating potential impacts of road and bridge projects. Current United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) guidelines require all projects that contain suitable habitat (any tree over 3 inches diameter at breast height) to conduct expensive surveys and tracking of bats to evaluate impacts on the Northern long-eared bat. Additionally, bridges, which may be used as roosts, would need surveys before maintenance or demolition. To meet these requirements, the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) would need to hire USFWS qualified biologist to conduct surveys for the endangered bat on most projects throughout the state, a time-consuming and expensive process. |
