Presentation Abstract:
Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis; NLEB) and tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus; TCB) populations have declined dramatically due to a disease known as white-nose syndrome (WNS). As a result, NLEB and TCB are listed as federally endangered or proposed endangered, respectively, under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). For this webinar, we will talk about the status of both species; threats; distribution; what constitutes habitat and our assessment that the species is reasonably certain to occur in a project area, and how we make determinations under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (federal nexus) and under Section 10 (non-federal nexus).
