Description: This group of layers represents the Greater Short-horned Lizard Range and Habitat. The label layers are not visible beyond the scale of 1:1,733,371. The outline and fill area with outline layers are not visible beyond the scale of 1:27,733,946. The Greater Short-horned Lizard Range This dataset will provide industrial operators and government departments information regarding the location of Greater Short-horned Lizard Range for the application of appropriate wildlife surveys. Specific operating conditions may apply upon the results of wildlife surveys. This dataset is produced for the Government of Alberta and is available to the general public. Note that the distribution contact is different for the general public than for Government of Alberta ministries. Please consult the Distribution Information of this metadata for the appropriate contact to acquire this dataset. The Greater Short-horned Lizard (Phrynosoma hernandesi), previously called the Eastern Short-horned Lizard (Phrynosoma douglassii brevirostre), is designated as an Endangered species in Alberta (under Alberta's Wildlife Act). The Greater Short-horned Lizard Range dataset replaces the former Eastern Short-horned Lizard Range dataset. A smoothed minimum convex polygon (MCP) was used to delineate a range based on observations from relevant databases in Alberta. Additional considerations were used to further filter range boundaries after observation data were plotted. Historical/extirpated observations were removed; bio- and geophysical restrictions to species patterns (e.g., rivers, elevation, ecoregions) were used to refine ranges as appropriate, and species experts reviewed maps and provided additional insight. Habitat Suitability Indices and Resource Selection Functions and inclusion of the Greater Short-horned Lizard Habitat layer further refined the boundary. Once an MCP was adequately modified, its border was smoothed. Greater Short-horned Lizard range was based upon 10 years of FWMIS observation Greater Short-horned Lizard Habitat The Greater Short-horned Lizard Habitat dataset was developed for landuse planning in the Landscape Analysis Tool (LAT). This dataset will provide industrial operators and government departments information regarding the location of sensitive habitat for the greater short-horned lizard that must be avoided. Polygons were delineated based on observations from relevant databases in Alberta and suitable habitat (i.e., coulees, bearpaw shale dunes) with a 200m setback from the edge, as per the approved setback. Habitat Suitability Indices, Resource Selection Functions, and Ortho imagery were also consulted. Once a polygon was modified, its border was smoothed.
