Description
A collection of bat echolocation calls recorded in Lebanon, with files in .zc and .wav formats. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery platform hosts the data, which was last updated in May 2026. Each audio file contains embedded metadata such as collection date, GPS location, and species identification where available.
Use Cases
Train species identification models based on recorded echolocation calls.
Analyze spatial distribution patterns of bats based on embedded GPS coordinates.
Study temporal activity based on the collection dates embedded in the files.
Filter and explore acoustic data for specific species or locations using the dashboard's searchable criteria.
Strengths
Includes embedded metadata such as GPS location and collection date for each call.
Files are provided in both .zc and .wav formats, which may support different analysis tools.
The dashboard provides searchable filter options for efficient exploration and download.
Limitations
Some audio files contain calls from multiple species, with only one species identified, complicating analysis.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
