Predictive distribution models are intended to provide an estimate of occupation by taxa; they are not a map of actual occupation by the taxa. As such, they are suitable for planning at the statewide scale, but should be supplemented by field surveys to verify whether taxon of interest are present when project-level determinations are being made.
Both range and distribution models can be explored online or downloaded here to download range or distribution data, or send questions to WYNDDGIS@uwyo.edu.
