Taxonomic coverage

General taxonomic coverage description: All bats were identified to species. 15 species belonging to 10 genera of 4 families of bats (Mammalia: order Chiroptera) are reported.

Spatial coverage

Formation period: 2017 March-2017November

Methods

Method step description: Species data were either extracted from sound files recorded from captured animals or/and capture records in the field note.
Study extent description: This data set is one of data assembled through the BIFA04_24 Project, which covered primarily SE Asia and nearby countries, e.g. Taiwan. This particular data is focused on the area along the Central Highway in Taiwan
Sampling description: Bats were captured using harp traps, mist nets and, then released after reference calls were taken using a digital audio recorder
Quality control description: The data were first assembled in a standard form designed for the Asian Bat Call Database (ABCD).The contributor(s) has been trained via a workshop fund by a GBIF-BIFA grant to use controlled language for data entry. The contents and format have been reviewed by the BIFA04-24 project investigator, Dr. Joe Chun-Chia Huang, and the ABCD manager, Dr. Tamas Golfol, under the supervision of Dr. Gabor Csorba from Hungarian Natural History Museum and Dr. Tigga Kingston from Southeast Asian Bat Conservation and Research Unit. The taxonomy of the species records has been carefully reviewed by Dr. Gabor Csorba which is very experienced of bat taxonomy in Asia. After all reviews and data cleaning, the data is migrated and reformatted using Darwin Core with support from the help desk (Miss Melissa Liu) of Taibif.
