A primary goal of the WV Gap project is to predict species distributions from a combination of maps of known range, habitat preference data, and maps of actual habitat occurrence. Known range maps are presented in a hexagon-based grid. Presence or absence within each hexagon is determined from point locality records, museum records, and expert knowledge.
To view the hexagon-based species range maps through your web browser, use the link below:
