Workshop (Tues full day): Harnessing North American Bat Monitoring Program Data for Analysis and Reporting
Date: Tuesday, March 4, 2025
Time: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (lunch not provided)
Size: Limited to 30 participants
Instructors: Helen Davis (USGS)
Description: In this interactive workshop, North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat) analysts from the NABat Central Coordinating Office at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Fort Collins Science Center will take participants on a step-by-step journey through data management, data quality measures, and advanced analysis techniques using the NABat Partner Portal and the NABatR package. NABat is a multiagency, multinational collaborative effort with the purpose of monitoring bats at local to range-wide scales and providing reliable data to promote effective conservation decision making and the long-term viability of bat populations across the continent. At the heart of NABat is the Partner Portal, a web application designed as the secure hub for data archiving, access, and sharing continent-wide bat data. Workshop participants will gain practical skills in extracting, formatting, and visualizing NABat data to create tailored reports with maps, figures, and tables specific to user projects. Analysts will guide participants through quality control essentials and an introduction to single-species occupancy modeling, equipping users with tools that directly support effective conservation decision-making. Additionally, participants will get a sneak peek into NABat-derived products and learn about the exciting future directions in bat data analysis. Bring a laptop and some basic R skills (loading CSV files, running code blocks), and get ready for a dynamic, data-driven session that will expand your conservation toolkit.
THIS IS A FULL-DAY WORKSHOP AND CAN, THEREFORE, NOT BE COMBINED WITH ANY OTHER WORKSHOPS
