Summary

This dataset shows the collected information on species presence and activity in the city of Exeter, Devon, UK using recordings from static bat detectors placed strategically around the city. The dataset were collected between July and September 2022. Classifications were then drawn from the audio recordings using software classification from both BatClassify and PnatConsoleApp, as well as manual human classification on a subset of the data. The experiment and sample locations were designed to gauge the impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on the movement of bats through urban and suburban landscapes.
