Vertebrate Modeling
- Define the range for selected vertebrates within Missouri
- Define the habitat for selected vertebrates
- Model distribution based on range and habitat
- Define areas of high diversity
Vertebrate diversity varies among land cover types. Areas of high diversity may deserve special management and conservation status.
The Geographic Resources Center at the University of Missouri completed Missouri's Gap Analysis project. As part of the project, models that predict the probability of occurrence of vertebrates across the state were completed. Email Tim Haithcoat at haithcoatt@missouri.edu or contact the National Gap Analysis home page (http://gap.uidaho.edu) for more information.
This is complete.
