Observations from a bat detector

Source: R/data.R
bats.Rd

A dataset containing detections of audio call sequences from bats. It is a small subset of the data published by Lagerveld et al. (2023)

Format

A data.frame with 1,037 rows and 2 columns:

  • RECDATETIME: datetime of the recorded bat call sequence

  • SPECDESCSCI: scientific species name

It also contains an attribute named monitoring which is a data.frame containing monitoring periods at which the bat detector was active. Each row is a monitoring period, and it holds the following columns:

  • start: start datetime of the monitoring period

  • end: end datetime of the monitoring period

  • time_on: time of day at which the detector is activated during the monitoring period

  • time_off: time of day at which the detector is deactivated during the monitoring period

  • longitude and latitude: coordinates of the detector's location

  • altitude: altitude in meters above sea level of the detector.
