Description

We have placed bat-boxes in the Doñana Biological Reserve (EBD-CSIC) in which we have installed transponder readers connected to a data storage system. These readers are prepared to read the transponder inserted in each greater noctule (Nyctalus lasiopterus) every time a bat enters or leaves a bat-box.

Purpose

The dataset can be used to work with data from bats during a long-term survey, althought to do this, it will be necessary to understand the next dataset that we will upload.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

We have been capturing bats, Nyctalus lasiopterus, since 2012. Every year we performance a masive netting day, it is usually in July but in 2021 and 2022 we carried out more than one samplig day at each location: Doñana Biological Reserve (EBD-CSIC), Mª Luisa Park and Zoobotanical in Jerez. Once the bats are capture we injected an RFID subcutaneously into each bat so that it could be read by the Smart bat boxes installed in Doñana Biological Reserve (EBD-CSIC)

Sampling

The RFID is injected subcutaneously with a surgical needle in every bat. The bat boxes located in Doñana are equipped with an antenna, a reader which is capable of storing the reading data and allowing us to download it.

Quality Control

As we have all the boxes set with an antenna and reader, we can know where each bat is anytime, the time of arrival every season of the year and the appearance of new individuals.

Method steps

First of all we capture the bat and inject the RFID. Secondly, we condition the bat boxes to be smart bat boxes After that we need the bats to enter or exit the boxes and provide us with readers Finally we download the readers and now we can start working with the data.

Taxonomic Coverages

Bats identified by transponders and readings made by readers located in the Smart bat boxes, Bats identified by our group of experts to species level.
