Reference call of insectivorous bats in Taiwan

Citation

Description

Bat occurrence data from Taiwan collected by the Department of Forestry and Nature Resource Management of the National Chiayi University.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

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 central and southern parts of Taiwan

Sampling

Bats were captured using harp traps and hand nets, then released after reference calls were taken using a digital audio recorder.

Quality Control

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.

Method steps

  1. Species data were either extracted from sound files recorded from captured animals or/and capture records in the field note.

Taxonomic Coverages

All bats were identified to species. 17 species belonging to 12 genera of 4 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
  1. Barbastella darjelingensis
  2. Harpiola isodon
  3. Hipposideros armiger
  4. Kerivoula furva
  5. Miniopterus fuliginosus
  6. Murina bicolor
  7. Murina puta
  8. Murina recondita
  9. Myotis frater
  10. Myotis rufoniger
  11. Myotis secundus
  12. Pipistrellus abramus
  13. Plecotus taivanus
  14. Rhinolophus formosae
  15. Rhinolophus monoceros
  16. Scotophilus kuhlii
  17. Submyotodon latirostris

Geographic Coverages

8 counties in the southern Taiwan
