Description
The project aims to use a combination of ultrasonic bat detectors and live captures to survey bat species occurrence inside the Kruger National Park.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 505 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Method step description:
- We sampled within the northern KNP, South Africa. Sampling at each site will be conducted seasonally using two SM4 Songmeters (Wildlife Acoustics, Concord, MA, USA) and through live-capture. We expect to sample for five consecutive nights in each austral season (with two sites sampled per night). Previous experience has shown that this approach is capable of adequately detecting the majority of bat species present along riverine systems in southern Africa (Parker & Bernard, unpublished data). If permitted by SANParks, we would also like to incorporate night drive transects (active surveys) using an ANABATSD2 with BatSatNav GPS (Titley Scientific, Australia) to complement our passive bat detectors and to provide a better indication of landscape use by bats.
