Mobilizing specimen data on bats and rodents from Zimbabwe

Study Extent

The sampling data was similar to the methods that were used in the published checklist of bats (i.e. Maponga T (2017): Checklist of bats housed at the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe. v1.4. Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe. Dataset/Occurrence. BID-AF2017-0052-SMA)
