Description

Part of the Vietnamese bat collection in the National Museum of Zoology based in Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology

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 Vietnam

Sampling

Bats were captured using mist nets and harp traps and 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. at least 40 species belonging to 13 genera of 6 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
