Abstract

Insectivorous diversity data from 10 provinces and Ha Noi City of Viet Nam

Keywords: Occurrence, Observation

Project details

Project title: Implementation of acoustics to fill the gaps of bat biodiversity information for Southeast Asia
Personnel: Joe Chun Chia Huang, Vuong Tan Tu
Funding: GBIF-BIFA
Study area descriptions/descriptor: 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 insectivorous bats in Viet Nam

Data published through GBIF: https://cloud.gbif.org/bifa/resource?r=bifa04-24-15

Taxonomic coverage

General taxonomic coverage description: All bats were identified to species. 27 species belonging to 6 genera of 3 families of bats (Mammalia: order Chiroptera) are reported. However, there are a few with identification uncertainty due to the restriction of taxonomy dilemma in the study area

Spatial coverage

General spatial coverage: Samples cover 10 provinces, namely An Giang, Binh Dinh,Cao Bang, Da Nang, Daknong, Ha Giang, Ninh Binh, Ninh Thuan, Quang Tri, Tuyen Quang, and Hanoi City of Viet Nam
Coordinates: 10°23'24''N and 22°46'48''N Latitude; 104°48'36''E and 109°13'48''E Longitude 

Formation period: 2010, 2015-2019

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 Viet Nam
Sampling description: Bats were trapped 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.
