![Page 2: North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). Purpose Create a continental-wide program to monitor bats at local to range-wide scales Provide data to](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d205503460f949f5321/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Purpose
• Create a continental-wide program to monitor bats at local to range-wide scales
• Provide data to promote effective conservation decision-making and long-term viability of bat populations across the continent.

Goals
• Develop and maintain a long-term continental program to monitor bat distributions and indices of abundance at range-wide, regional, and local scales.

Goals
• Provide regular analyses and reporting on the status and trends of bat populations to inform managers and policy makers so that they can manage bat populations effectively.

Some Important Points
• Best for larger scale analyses• But, can be scaled down• Long-term nature–On the order of decades

Monitoring Methods
• Acoustic Surveys–Mobile Transects– Stationary Points
• Colony Counts–Hibernacula–Maternity Colonies

Sampling Design – 10 x 10 km grid
![Page 11: North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). Purpose Create a continental-wide program to monitor bats at local to range-wide scales Provide data to](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d205503460f949f5321/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sampling Design- 10 x 10 km grid
![Page 12: North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). Purpose Create a continental-wide program to monitor bats at local to range-wide scales Provide data to](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d205503460f949f5321/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sampling Design
• Generalized Randomized Tessellation Stratified (GRTS) Sample
• Spatially balanced approach• Flexible– Grid cells can be dropped for logistical reasons– Grid cells assigned weights or inclusion
probabilities– Can include some samples outside design

Sampling Design
• Any subset of grid cells is also random and balanced
• Can “over-sample” selected properties– FS–DoD–NPS–Refuge

Colony Surveys
• Hibernacula surveys– Continue current surveys– 2 Independent surveys– Use NABat protocols• Data collection• Data submission
– No need to follow GRTS draw• Searching for new colonies– GRTS order may be useful
![Page 23: North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat). Purpose Create a continental-wide program to monitor bats at local to range-wide scales Provide data to](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d205503460f949f5321/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Stationary Point Acoustic Sampling
• 2-4 stationary points• 4 nights• Preferably 1 point/5 x 5 km quadrant• Any type of detector except time-
expansion or heterodyne

Mobile Transect
• 25-48 km (15-30 mi) long• Secondary roads• Safe to drive @ 20 mph• Assume 1 pass = 1 bat– No or minimal stops– Don’t want to back track on route
• Variety of habitats• Need to record associated lat/longs

Species Assignments - Acoustics
• Potentially biggest bottleneck• Requires knowledge & expertise• Investment of time and personnel

Species Assignments - Acoustics
• > 2 ID methods– Auto-ID programs• BCID• DFA model (Britzke et al. 2011)• Echoclass• Kaleidoscope• Sonobat
– Filters (e.g., AnalookW)– Qualitative ID

Caveats/Concerns
• Acoustic identification– Many models, which is correct?– Metadata– Archive original data– Robustness to false +’s and –’s?
• Unknown hibernacula– Particularly in western NA
• Better/alternate analyses?
