Abstract

Social dynamics are an important but poorly understood aspect of bat ecology. We used these data in a combination of graph theoretic and spatial approaches to describe the roost and social network characteristics and foraging associations of an Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) maternity colony in an agricultural landscape in Ohio, USA.

Description

The following dataset was collected as described in Kniowski and Gehrt (2014) “Home Range and Habitat Selection of the Indiana Bat in an Agricultural Landscape” Journal of Wildlife Management.

The data set includes six .csv files and one .txt file. bats.csv daily_location_data.csv emergence.csv foraging_locations.csv roost_locations.csv subset_individual_foraging_locations.csv Please see metadata file (METADATA.txt) for complete description of data attributes.
