⇳ Description
Bat Detective is an Zooniverse citizen science project which asks the public to turn detective to find bat calls in audio recordings across the world.
➠ Purpose
Mapping out bat ‘hotspots’ by using recordings and classifying the sounds they make for echolocation and social purposes.
? Research question
Calls that bats use for socialising are not used for echolocation but communication, and these calls tend to be lower in frequency and have a more complex structure. Only under a third of all the echolocation calls of bats worldwide are known and even less is understood about social calls. Perhaps only 5% of all species social calls have been recorded.
