Meetnetten.be - Bat maternity roosts counts Flanders, Belgium

Details

Bat maternity roosts counts Flanders, Belgium is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It is part of the Meetnetten.be suite of monitoring networks for priority species in Flanders, in which data are collected at fixed locations using a standardized protocol (https://meetnetten.be). This dataset contains bat maternity roosts count data of four target bat species (Geoffroy's bat, Brown long-eared bat, Grey long-eared bat and Serotine bat). Here, it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each sampling event an eventID, date, location and sampling protocol (in the event core), and for each occurrence an occurrenceID, the number of recorded individuals, status (present/absent) and scientific name (in the occurrence extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/inbo/meetnetten-occurrences/issues Generalized and/or withheld information: as this dataset includes sensitive priority species, location information is generalized for all bat species to 5 or 10 km Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid cells. Original locations are available upon request. If you have any questions regarding this dataset, don't hesitate to contact us via the contact information provided in the metadata or via opendata@inbo.be.
