Species Profile
COTO is highly dependent upon mines, and AML efforts in the state continue at a high level. Until research on roosting habitat for this species is conducted, and found to counter the current thought of a cave/mine obligate species, the continued AML efforts should be considered as high risk to the species (Navo 2008).
