Data from: Habitat suitability and connectivity modeling reveal priority areas for Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) conservation in a complex habitat mosaic
Context <p>Conservation for the Indiana bat (<i>Myotis sodalis), </i>a federally endangered species in the United States of America, is typically focused on local maternity sites; however, the species is a regional migrant, interacting with the environment at multiple spatial scales. Hierarchical levels of management may be necessary, but we have limited knowledge of landscape-level ecology, distribution, and connectivity of suitable areas in complex landscapes.</p> Objectives <p>We sought to 1) identify factors influencing <i>M. sodalis </i>maternity colony distribution in a mosaic landscape, 2) map suitable maternity habitat, and 3) quantify connectivity importance of patches.</p> Methods <p>Using 3 decades of occurrence data, we tested <i>a priori</i>,<i> </i>hypothesis-driven<i> </i>habitat suitability models. We mapped suitable areas and quantified connectivity importance of habitat patches with probabilistic habitat availability metrics.</p> Results <p>Factors improving landscape-scale suitability included limited agriculture, more forest cover, forest edge, proximity to medium-sized water bodies, lower elevations, and limited urban development. Areas closer to hibernacula and rivers were suitable. Binary maps showed that thirty percent of the study area was suitable for <i>M. sodalis</i> and 29% was important for connectivity. Most suitable patches were important for intra-patch connectivity and far fewer contributed to inter-patch connectivity.</p> Conclusions <p>While simple models may be effective for small, homogenous landscapes, complex models are needed to explain habitat suitability in large, mixed landscapes. Suitability modeling identified factors that made sites attractive as maternity areas. Connectivity analysis improved our understanding of important areas for bats, identified suitable patches that may be isolated from the habitat network, and prioritized areas to target restoration.</p>

Conservation status assessment of banana crop wild relatives using species distribution modelling
<p><strong>Aim: </strong>Crop wild relatives (CWR) are an essential source of genetic material for the improvement of certain traits in related crop species. Despite their importance, increasing public, scientific and political support, large gaps exist in the amount of genetic material collected and conserved of many CWR. Here, we construct a dataset on the distribution of wild banana species (Musa spp.) and assess their risk and conservation status. We deal with the questions (1) what areas are potentially suitable for wild banana species (2) how much of the wild banana diversity is currently at risk or insufficiently conserved ex- and in-situ.</p> <p><span><strong>Location: </strong>Native distribution area of wild banana species, ranging from the northeastern states of India to northeastern Australia.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Methods:</strong> We assessed the potential environmental range of wild species using a species distribution modelling approach with MaxEnt. Extinction risk was evaluated following IUCN criterion B and the <i>ex- </i>and <i>in-situ</i> conservation status was assessed using an indicator for biodiversity and sustainable development targets.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Results:</strong> We found that 11 out of 59 assessed species can be considered as vulnerable and nine as endangered. Highest species richness was found along the border of south China and northern Vietnam, in the northeastern states of India and on the Malayan peninsula. Our distribution modelling approach indicates that the northern Indo-Burmese region has the highest environmental suitability for most wild banana species and that lowland rainforests in general are highly suitable for bananas. Assessment of <i>in</i>- and <i>ex-situ</i> conservation status indicates that 56 out of 59 assessed species are currently insufficiently conserved <i>ex-situ</i> and that 49 are of high priority for further conservation. Additional <i>in-situ</i> conservation is of high priority for six species and of medium priority for 40 species.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Main Conclusions:</strong> To date, little of the banana CWR are sufficiently conserved both <i>in- </i>and <i>ex-situ</i>.</span></p>
