An accessible and comprehensive guide to all things acoustic bat
detection. This highly illustrated handbook provides an in-depth
understanding of acoustic detection principles, study planning,
data handling, properties of bat calls, manual identification of
species, automatic species recognition, analysis of results,
quality assurance and the background physics of sound. No other
method of detecting bats is so popular and widespread in the
context of environmental assessment and voluntary work as acoustic
detection, and its increased use has driven the development of a
large number of sophisticated devices and analytical methods.
Acoustic detection has become a standard approach for establishing
the presence of bats, carrying out species identification and
monitoring levels of activity. The resolution, accuracy and scale
with which these tasks can be done has risen dramatically with the
availability of automated real-time recording. But anyone
interested in acoustic recording will quickly recognise that there
are still quite a few open questions about the limits and
possibilities of acoustic detection. Clear definitions of how to
handle the data are usually missing, for example, and there are no
clearly described activity indices. In response to the lack of
thorough information on the underlying science of acoustic
detection, the authors present this handbook.
