Table 2. Threat and species score computation.
Species | Points | Justification | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Richness | 1 (each species) | 1 point granted for every species detected | ||
Status | 1 (each species) | 1 point granted for every species with a conservation status | ||
Threat | Impact on species | Scoring | ||
Artificial lights | Modification of prey availability | 1 point if in quartile 1, 2 if in quartile 2, 3 if in quartile 3, 4 if in quartile 4 | ||
Pesticide use | Reduction of prey availability | |||
Unconserved land | Bats on unconserved land may be vulnerable | |||
Urbanization | Reduction of available/suitable habitat | |||
Lack of open water | Water is a critical resource to bats |
