Colorado Bat Matrix Methods<\/h1>\n\t

We ranked the scope, severity and immediacy (modified from Master et al. 2009) of 20 potential threats as high, moderate, low or insignificant for 18 bat species found in Colorado. We defined:<\/p>\n\t

Scope:<\/strong> The proportion of the species\u2019 population that is observed, inferred, or suspected to be directly or indirectly affected by the threat within Colorado.<\/p>\n

Severity:<\/strong> How badly and irreversibly the impacted population may be directly or indirectly affected by the threat within Colorado.<\/p>\n

Immediacy:<\/strong> Imminence of the threat to the species within Colorado.<\/p>\n

These rankings were summarized into a value ranging from \u201cA\u201d (substantial, imminent threat) to \u201cH\u201d (unthreatened) for each threat-species combination.<\/p>\n\t
