Dataset: North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat): Stationary Point Acoustic Monitoring Survey Dataset for National Wildlife Refuges, 2016 - 2022

Description

This dataset is a backup of the data stored on NABat.org, for NABat stationary acoustic monitoring on national wildlife refuges in the Pacific Region for years 2016-2022. It was directly downloaded from NABat to update FWSpecies lists on refuges. Significant post-processing was required in order to verify data and locations, and correct errors. This post-processing resulted in an enhanced dataset specific for region 1 refuges.

57 Geospatial Data: coordinates of detector locations for data 2016-2022. NABat contained non-standardized names for detector sites and locations were provided in a WKT format which is not natively read by many applications. A script was created to translate WKT to Latitude and Longitude. https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/DownloadFile/228192?Reference=146115
53 2022 NABat Species List: used to crosswalk (species) codes in downloaded data to scientific species names. These had to be cross-walked before the records could be added to FWSpecies. https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/DownloadFile/228196?Reference=146115
53 2022 Cross-walked Location Names for NABat data (downloaded July 2022). Detector Points (locations) crosswalked to names provided in historic reports (e.g., Covariates in 2020 report. https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/DownloadFile/228193?Reference=146115
8 2022 Spreadsheet with only the vetted/confirmed observations (calls). Processed dataset of all the data in NABat up through 2022 (June) for region 1 refuges. Corrections, crosswalks have been applied in post-processing to make the dataset originally downloaded from NABat more usable for region 1 refuges. This spreadsheet is the result of post-processing and was used to update FWSpecies in 2022. https://ecos.fws.gov/ServCat/DownloadFile/228190?Reference=146115
