Island of Hawai'i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost switch 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 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 second dataset is described, "Island of Hawai‘i, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost switch metrics, 2018-2021". The dataset consists of information on bat occupancy of day roosts, the frequency of switching among roosts, lability and fidelity of roost use, and bat age, sex and reproductive status. The row-wise metrics of day-roost use are summarized for each bat and derived from the roost occupancy data tabulated in the child item "Island of Hawaiʻi, 'ōpe‘ape‘a day-roost detection records, 2018-2021". Bat reproductive condition for most individuals was obtained at the time of bat capture, but also includes individuals not captured and for which this was inferred based on only direct visual observations (e.g., lactation for bats observed with non- or newly-volant pups).
