Acoustic Bat Monitoring Series
Co-hosted by:
Native American Fish and Wildlife Society, U.S. Geological Survey, and Oregon State University
Through a partnership between Native American Fish and Wildlife Society, U.S. Geological Survey, and Oregon State University, we are excited to present a two part webinar series on acoustic bat monitoring. No matter your geographic location, bats play an important role in many habitats around the world. Some plants depend partly or wholly on certain bat species to pollinate their flowers or spread their seeds, while many bats help control insects by feeding on them. Bats are ‘indicator species’, changes to these bat populations can indicate changes in aspects of biodiversity. Join NAFWS, USGS and OSU to learn about how to monitor bats using acoustic equipment. Our spring webinar will address the basics of acoustic bat monitoring, and our fall series will dive into processing regionally specific acoustic bat data. In celebration of International Bat Week (https://batweek.org/) NAFWS and USGS present a two-day webinar series on bat acoustic data processing species specific call characteristics. The fall series focuses on species specific bat acoustic calls, laying the foundation for how to process acoustic bat data. Topics covered include data management, data quality control, call analysis software, call processing, species call characteristics, goals and objectives and tips for best practices.
