In the PERMANENT ChiroHabitats you must choose a specifica locality and conduct at least one nigth of recordings (from 30' before sunset to 30' after sunrise) per each season of the year continously over time. If you want to conduct various recording sessions for each season you can also include those in the online portal. This modality is the one that provides with more valuable information, as it allows to monitor the evolution of the bat community in a specific place. You need to analyse all your recordings manually and identify the species using a free ultrasound analysis software. If you don't have experience, contact us in order to obtain the required training. In order for the data to be comparable you should conduct your session in similar dates over the years.

In the SPORADIC ChiroHabitats you must conduct one night of recordings (from 30' before sunset to 30' after sunrise), any day of the year and in any habitat.This modality is useful if, for example, you go on vacation or visiting some place where you don't go often, and you want to see which bats are found in the area. This doesn't mean that, if you ever go back at the same place, you can't deploy your detector in the same locality. You need to analyse all your recording manually and identify the species using a free ultrasound analysis software. If you don't have experience, contact us in order to obtain the required training.
