Threats to Collared Lizards in Idaho

In the present study, habitat associated with Mojave black-collared lizard locations is being examined at three scales: the landscape (macrohabitat), habitat (mesohabitat), and micro habitat. Data collected at the macrohabitat scale is composed entirely of Geographical Information System (GIS) data. Data at the mesohabitat and microhabitat scales are collected in the field. Using these habitat layers, we will construct a habitat model to predict habitat important to the Mojave black-collared lizard. This document will report the results from the first year of study.
