Abstract
The tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) was recently proposed for listing as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service primarily due to the disease, white-nose syndrome, however, impacts from wind energy developments were also considered to be a contributing factor. If the species is listed as endangered, then wind energy projects may be subject to mitigatory actions (e.g., curtailment). Currently, wind turbines are operating in a considerable portion of the species’ range. To understand where areas with potential interactions between tricolored bats and wind turbines might occur, we modelled the distribution of the species.
