- Abstract
The article presents a study which focuses on the assessment of the status and trend of bat populations across broad geographic regions of the U.S. The study uses the Bayesian autoregressive approach for the development of dynamic distribution models for the little brown bat Myolis (M.) lucifugus. Results show that the 0.69 proportion of the region occupied by the bat has increased after accounting for imperfect detection of the animal.
