Service Description: The Map of Biodiversity Importance (MoBI) identifies areas of high importance for species conservation in the contiguous United States. Building on habitat suitability models for 2,216 of the nation’s most imperiled species, and information on range size and degree of protection derived from those models, the MoBI project provides a series of maps that can help inform conservation efforts. This map depicts summed range-size rarity for Critically Imperiled (categorized by NatureServe as “G1”), Imperiled (“G2”), and ESA-listed (i.e., full species listed as Endangered or Threatened under the Endangered Species Act) species in the taxonomic group specified in the layer name. High values identify areas where species with restricted ranges (and thus fewer conservation opportunities) are likely to occur; the presence of multiple imperiled species contributes to higher scores. Habitat models for most species were generated using the random forest algorithm with (1) NatureServe Network, USGS BISON, and other sources of population and locality data and (2) environmental predictors representing terrain, climate, land cover, soils, and hydrology. The modeling resolution for terrestrial species was either 30 m (most species) or 330 m (some wide-ranging species). Models for aquatic species used the medium resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) as the modeling unit. For species not amenable to random forest modeling, habitat maps were derived by buffering locality data and/or building simple deductive models based on habitat information. NatureServe converted habitat maps to a 990-m raster to provide a consistent unit of aggregation and avoid revealing the precise location of sensitive species. Range-size rarity for each species is the inverse of the total area mapped as habitat (using the 990-m raster). Summed range-size rarity is the sum of the range-size rarity values for all species with habitat that overlaps a cell.
