Bat Echolocation Calls Recorded in Romania with GPS and Species Metadata

A collection of bat echolocation calls recorded in Romania, stored in .zc and .wav formats. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery platform extracted embedded metadata like collection date, GPS location, and species identification to create searchable filters. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-01.

Use Cases

• Identify bat species based on recorded echolocation call characteristics.
• Analyze spatial distribution of bat activity using the embedded GPS location data.
• Study temporal patterns in bat calls using the collection date metadata.
• Filter and download specific call files for acoustic analysis via the provided dashboard.

Strengths

• Call files contain embedded metadata including GPS location and collection date.
• Data enables searchable filtering via a dedicated dashboard for efficient exploration.
• Includes both identified and unidentified species calls, providing a broad sample.

Limitations

• Some audio files contain calls from multiple species, with only one species identified, complicating analysis.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
