Figure 6. Locations of Texas wind energy facilities in study, known Brazilian free-tailed bat roosts, and known bat roosts with assumed Brazilian free-tailed bat populations by type (bridge or cave roost).

Data for known cave and bridge roosts were obtained from the literature. Data for assumed bridge roosts were provided by S. Weaver in 2023, personal communication. Assumed bridge roosts are roosts with known bat populations but have not been specifically studied for species occurrence. However, they are assumed to be Brazilian free-tailed roosts by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
