U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceThis is a point feature collating data and location information for 261 bat acoustic monitoring sites around the midwestern US and the Great Lakes collected by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's radar team, as well as Kevin Heist. See Supplementary Information for more details. The purpose of this dataset is to provide a information for bat activity across the Upper Midwest Great Lakes region on a site-by-site basis. This dataset is be used to build other predictive layers which can be used to identify general areas of greater and lesser airspace and habitat use by bats. This information has been incorporated into the Great Lakes Airspace Map Decision Support Tool (GLAM DST). This DST is meant to help managers plan projects and conservation activities. The DST provides layers that predict areas of high bird and bat activity within the Great Lakes basin. Layers are radar-based for birds and acoustic-based for bats. These layers can be used in conjunction with publicly available layers or with private project layers to pinpoint areas for management that would benefit migratory birds and/or bats as well as meeting other objectives.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/852d9f7ac7594e9298f41f22b7a3ff21_0engU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open DataPublicBatSiteMean at bat acoustic monitoring sites [United States]Web servicesUnited StatesLast Modified: 2022-03-22
