Bat Inventory of Golden Gate National Recreation Area

Bats are both economically and ecologically important, providing ecosystem services such as predation of insects and pollination. Between July 2004 and July 2005, researchers detected bat vocalizations in Golden Gate using Anabat bat detectors. The graph of each call can often be used to determine the species based on the frequency, call shape, call duration, and time intervals.
