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.","distributionFormats":[{"name":"Comma-separated values (CSV)","type":"text/csv","version":"unknown"}],"distributorContacts":[{"organisationName":"NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre","organisationIdentifier":"https://ror.org/04xw4m193","role":"distributor","email":"info@eidc.ac.uk"}],"funding":[{"funderName":"Natural Environment Research Council","funderIdentifier":"https://ror.org/02b5d8509","awardTitle":"Artificial light as a driver of nighttime landscape ecology","awardNumber":"NE/V000497/1","awardURI":"https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=NE/V000497/1","orcid":false,"ror":true}],"hasOnlineServiceAgreement":true,"id":"c635cda4-a014-4a79-b17a-c812b77f632c","incomingCitationCount":0,"infoLinks":[{"url":"https://data-package.ceh.ac.uk/sd/c635cda4-a014-4a79-b17a-c812b77f632c.zip","name":"Supporting information","description":"Supporting information available to assist in re-use of this dataset","function":"information","eidcDistribution":false,"type":"OTHER"}],"inspireThemes":[{"theme":"Habitats and Biotopes","uri":"http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme/hb"}],"keywordsOther":[{"value":"monitoring","uri":"http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/5346"},{"value":"animal behaviour","uri":"http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/415"},{"value":"ecology","uri":"http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/2470"},{"value":"urban ecology","uri":"http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/10130"},{"value":"urban biodiversity","uri":"http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet/concept/15317"},{"value":"Exeter"}],"keywordsTheme":[{"value":"Animal behaviour","uri":"http://onto.nerc.ac.uk/CEHMD/topic/20"}],"licences":[{"value":"This resource is available under the terms of the Open Government Licence","code":"license","uri":"https://eidc.ac.uk/licences/ogl/plain"}],"lineage":"The data was collected using recordings from AudioMoth 1.2.0 static bat detectors working on  ultrasonically-triggered firmware, described in the documentation.

The sound files were viewed manually using the Kaleidoscope Pro software by Wildlife Acoustics. The outputs from this analysis were stored in a SQLite database, which were then collated into the CSVs provided in this dataset.\nThe preparation, placement and collection of the detectors was performed by Maisy Inston, with assistance from Sam Morrell. The human classifications of bat passes were performed by Maisy Inston.
