Spatial occupancy patterns of the endangered northern long‐eared bat in New England Spatial occupancy patterns of the endangered northern long‐eared bat in New England
Aim White-nose syndrome has caused severe declines in eastern North American cave bats, leading to the federal listing of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as endangered in the United States and Canada. This has heightened the importance of long-term monitoring to inform species status assessments. We employed a combination of long-term repeated and single-season...

Satellite imagery can predict bird species occupancy and inform multispecies management in pine savannas Satellite imagery can predict bird species occupancy and inform multispecies management in pine savannas
Multispecies management can contribute to meeting growing challenges of preserving biodiversity, yet current game and threatened species management often focuses on individual species. Satellite imagery available at high spatial and temporal resolution provides a potential tool to overcome the challenge posed by multispecies management of linking patterns of habitat use among species. We...
