1Falk Huettmann, University of Alaska and Erica Craig, W.E.S.T.200410/30UAF - Predictive Model of Golden Eagle Distribution in Idaho and Montananot applicablefalseBecause of growing concern in recent years about the status of golden eagle populations in western North America and the need for a more complete understanding of the preferences of this species, we developed a Predictive Model of Golden Eagle Distribution in Idaho and Montana. This preliminary model follows a Resource Selection Functions (RSF) approach for golden eagles and is based on data collected via satellite telemetry from 6 golden eagles tracked in the western U.S from 1996-1998. The initial golden eagle predictive model is done at a relatively low resolution; the dataset includes the predictive layer and was created from 5 different environmental data layers that were originally compiled and published elsewhere. GIS overlays were reformatted and merged from diverse sources (including state GAP programs, USGS, Snake River Field Station, ESRI and other sources). Aspect, slope, river and road distance were derived from the original data layers. All work was completed in ArcView 3.3. For model building we used MARS and CART from Salford Systems.To determine and predict resource selection for golden eagles, Aquila chrysaetos in North America.See Source Date and Process Step sections of this metadata file for details of source material.19961998As needed-117.8213021-103.60590449.1816241.69658246nonehabitatpreferencesmodel datapredictive modelingsatelliteresource selection function (RSF)year-round use areasgeographic information systemMARSCARTnoneMontanaIdahoWestern United StatesnoneeagleGolden eagleAquila chrysaetosKingdomAnimaliaPhylumChordatachordatesSubphylumVertebratavertebratesClassAvesbirdsOrderFalconiformesFamilyAccipitridaeeagleshawkskitesGenusAquilaGolden EaglesSpeciesAquila chrysaetosGolden EagleNoneThis data set is an initial model derived from relatively low resolution data layers and, as such, is not available for distribution.Erica CraigW.E.S.T.Wildlife Biologist
