Results and Code from the North American Bat Monitoring Program's (NABat) Integrated Species Distribution and Trend Models for Hoary Bat and Silver-haired Bat
These data contain results and model code from the North American Bat Monitoring Program's (NABat) integrated species distribution and trend models for the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus) and silver-haired bat (Lasionycteris noctivagans). These results document population status and trends based on the first continental-scale, comprehensive analysis of NABat data for tree bats (2012–2023), integrating stationary acoustic, mobile transect acoustic, and live-capture data using a
