Island of Hawai'i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost activity metrics, 2018-2021
The 'ōpe‘ape‘a, also known as the Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus; Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), is a solitary, insectivorous, and foliage-roosting endemic species. We investigated day-roost lability and fidelity, nocturnal activity patterns at the roost, and long-term use of roosts by 'ōpe‘ape‘a. The species Lasiurus semotus was formerly considered a subspecies of another species; i.e., Lasiurus cinereus semotus.
The full data release consists of six tabular datasets: (1) Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost detection records, 2018-2021, (2) Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost switch metrics, 2018-2021, (3) Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost activity metrics, 2018-2021, (4) Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost long-term fidelity, 2019-2022, (5) Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost visual checks, 2019-2022, and (6) Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost change-points, 2019-2021.
Here the third dataset is described, "Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost activity metrics, 2018-2021". The dataset consists of the calculations of bat activity at day roosts summarized for each night of bat detection, including the time of bat emergence from the day roost, frequency of "flight bouts" and proportion of the day/night period spent at the day roost. The nightly record of activity acquired over one or more nights was produced by a combination of change-point analysis of radio-telemetry recordings, direct visual inspection and thermal video review to determine bat presence or absence at a day roost.
