Gorresen, Paulo Marcos 20200506 tabular digital data https://doi.org/10.5066/P937H9LQ Paulo M. Gorresen 20200510 publication Hawaii Cooperative Studies Unit, Technical Report 93 (HCSU-TR093) The Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), a federally and state listed endangered subspecies, is the only extant native terrestrial mammal in the Hawaiian archipelago. It is an insectivorous, solitary and foliage-roosting species that generally roosts alone or in mother-pup family groups. This data release consists of three tabular datasets comprising acoustic and thermal video data of Hawaiian hoary bat behavior at wind turbines. One dataset consists of the acoustic and video detections of bats tabulated by night and turbine, and associated weather and turbine operational data used in analyses. The other two datasets consist of the individual detections, catalogued separately for the acoustic and video data sources. The Hawaii Endangered Species Recovery Committee has identified research on distribution and trends, habitat suitability, and take monitoring among priority information needed to inform best management actions for the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus). This study examined the behavior of Hawaiian hoary bats at wind turbines operated by Auwahi Wind Energy, LLC, on southern Maui Island, from August to November 2018. The research was conducted to assess the risk that wind turbines pose to bats at the wind energy facility, and compared information obtained from both acoustic monitoring and thermal videography. The rotor-swept area of each turbine was monitored using a surveillance camera equipped with a 19-mm lens (Axis Q1942-E, Axis Communications, Lund, Sweden) that imaged in the thermal infrared spectrum (~9,000–14,000 micrometers) of electromagnetic radiation. The camera sampled at a rate of 30 frames per second, a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels, and required no supplemental illumination. The camera was mounted approximately 4 m up from the ground on the turbine monopole. Bat vocalization was acoustically monitored from atop turbines with acoustic detector systems (Batlogger WE X2, Elekon AG, Luzern, Switzerland) installed and managed by Natural Power Consultants, LLC (Saratoga Springs, New York, USA). 20180801 20181130 observed Complete None planned -156.32661 -156.31090 20.60539 20.58691 Maui County, Hawaii ISO 19115 Topic Category biota None Hawaiian hoary bat wind turbine behavior USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:5e162be5e4b0ecf25c570033 Common geographic areas Maui island None.

Project management was provided by K. Courtot and P. M. Gorresen. Video imagery was processed using custom-written code and matrix-based statistical software (Mathworks, Natick, Massachusetts, USA) to automatically detect animals flying through the video scenes. Hawaiian hoary bat vocalizations were examined using Kaleidoscope Pro software (version 5.1.9, Wildlife Acoustics, Concord, Maine, USA).

All thermal video files identified as potentially recording bat occurrence were visually reviewed and confirmed as to bat presence. No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted. This dataset includes data from bats that were recorded at four wind turbines on Maui Island from August to November 2018. Some acoustic and thermal video collection stations had equipment malfunctions that resulted time periods when no collection occurred. Data presented here represents all available data collected. A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has either not been conducted, or is not applicable. A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has either not been conducted, or is not applicable. Three separate metadata files were created to describe three spreadsheets containing Hawaiian hoary bat data (1) acoustic bat detection data, (2) thermal video bat detection data, (3) composite acoustic and video data tabulated by night and turbine. Each data set has its own set of processing steps that will appear in the respective metadata file. 20191001 P.
