Description:
Abstract:
Florida Bonneted Bat Consultation Area - The area in south Florida that requires consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service on potential impacts to the Florida Bonneted Bat.  Applicants with projects in the Urban Bat Area should contact the Service for specific guidance addressing this area and individual consultation. The Consultation Key should not be used for projects in this area.
Purpose:
If a project falls within the consultation area impacts to the Florida Bonneted Bat 
should be assessed and consultation with the Fish and Wildlife 
Service should be initiated.
Supplemental_Information:
Consultation area encompasses all areas where populations are known to exist.

Florida bonneted bat (Eumops floridanus)

Listing Status:  Endangered 
Where Listed: WHEREVER FOUND

General Information
The Florida bonneted bat is a member of the Molossidae (free-tailed bats) family 
within the order Chiroptera. The species is the largest bat in Florida(Owre 1978; 
Belwood 1992). Males and females are not significantly different in size, and there is
no pattern of size-related geographic variation in this species(Timm and Genoways 
2004). Members of the genus Eumops have large, rounded pinnae (ears), arising 
from a single point or joined medially on the forehead (Best et al. 1997). Ears are 
joined at the midline of the head. This feature, along with its large size, distinguishes
the Florida bonneted bat from the smaller Brazilian (=Mexican)free-tailed bat 
(Tadarida brasiliensis). Eumops are among the narrowest of all molossids (Freeman 
1981, as cited in Best et al. 1997) and are well-adapted for rapid, prolonged flight 
(Vaughan 1959 as cited in Best et al. 1997). This wing structure is conducive to 
high-speed flight in open areas (Findley et al. 1972 as cited in Best et al. 1997). The
Florida bonneted bat's fur is short and glossy, with hairs sharply bicolored with a 
white base (Belwood 1992; Timm and Genoways 2004). Like other molossids, color 
is highly variable, varying from black to brown to brownish-gray or cinnamon brown 
with ventral pelage (fur) paler than dorsal (Owre 1978; Belwood 1992; Timm and 
Genoways 2004).

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
