FORT scientists host interactive training on bat monitoring data management and analysis
USGS FORT staff with the North American Bat Monitoring Program (NABat) held an in-person workshop to train potential users of the NABat Partner Portal in bat monitoring data management and analysis. The goal of this workshop was to equip participants with skills and resources that enable them to maximize the utility of available data and efficiently produce valuable information on their own.
In this interactive workshop, analysts took participants on a step-by-step journey through data management, data quality measures, and advanced analysis techniques using the NABat Partner Portal and the NABat R package. Workshop participants gained practical skills in extracting, formatting, and visualizing NABat data to create tailored reports with maps, figures, and tables specific to user projects.
Analysts also guided participants through quality control essentials and an introduction to single-species occupancy modeling, providing users with tools that support effective management of natural resource assets. Additionally, participants got a sneak peek into NABat-derived products and learned about the exciting future directions in bat data analysis.
