CPW Botta's Pocket Gopher Shapefile Download

Updated December, 2025 BottasPocketGopherOverallRange is an ESRI shapefile encompassing the observed and predicted range of a population of Botta's Pocket Gopher in Colorado. Botta's Pocket Gopher is primarily associated with perennial meadows, and grass and forb stages of most riparian-deciduous and conifer forests. Less common in mature stages of forest habitats. This information was derived from species experts. A variety of data capture techniques were used including implementation of the SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using stand-up, real-time digitizing at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximizing Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35). Various sources were referenced in developing these data including Mammals of Colorado, and CPW Scientific Collection data. These data are updated on a four year rotation with one of the four Colorado Parks and Wildlife Regions updated each year. These data are not updated on a statewide level annually.

更新于2025年12月的Botta囊鼠全域范围数据集（BottasPocketGopherOverallRange）是一份ESRI形状文件（ESRI shapefile），涵盖了科罗拉多州境内博塔囊鼠（Botta's Pocket Gopher）种群的观测分布与预测分布范围。博塔囊鼠主要栖息于多年生草甸，以及多数河岸落叶林与针叶林的草本、杂草群落阶段生境，在成熟森林生境中较为少见。该数据集的信息源自物种专家的研究结论。数据采集采用了多种技术手段，包括使用智能交互白板（SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard）开展不同尺度的站立式实时数字化工作（Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. 2003年3月. 最大化测绘资源利用率. 《GeoWorld》16(3):32-35）。本数据集的编制参考了多种数据源，包括《科罗拉多州哺乳动物》（Mammals of Colorado）以及科罗拉多公园与野生动物局（Colorado Parks and Wildlife，简称CPW）的科学馆藏数据。该数据集采用四年一轮的更新周期，每年更新科罗拉多州四个公园与野生动物管理区域中的一个，而非每年对全州范围的数据进行更新。
