Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Sensitivity maps — Maps Natural regions — Nyctalus_noctula (Common name)

Sensitivity maps made by the ODONAT Grand Est network in 2018-2019. The distribution of the species is represented from recent occurrence data (1999-2018 or 2009-2018 by species). These are natural areas in which at least one observation of the species has been carried out in the recent period, as well as natural regions where the species is highly suspected (i.e. experts) or has older data. In each of the natural regions with recent non-marginal observations, this presence is represented by the calculation of the proportion of 1 x 1 km meshes in which the species was observed. For an explanation of the method of calculation, refer to the Natural Regions Map Explanation Sheet. Natural regions identify areas in which abiotic conditions (relief, geology, climate...) are relatively homogeneous. In fact, the observation of a species in a natural region (even at a single location) provides a strong presumption of other favourable habitats elsewhere in the natural region. Any observations shall be taken into account: they can be implanted populations, but also erratic individuals. This layer represents the state of knowledge at the time of its realisation, it should not be considered exhaustive. The presence of the species outside the identified areas is possible.
