Residence Descriptions / Rationales

These documents provide a short description of the species residence used for enforcement, compliance promotion, recovery planning, and environmental assessment purposes. Each residence is described in terms of its physical appearance and context, function, how it might be damaged or destroyed, and the period and frequency for which it is typically occupied by individuals of the species.

The concept of residence may not apply to every species, in which case a short rationale detailing the reasons for such a decision is created.

To find a residence description or rationale, please select a species group and species.

Species marked with an asterisk (*) have at least one associated document.
