Summary

The Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), a federally and state listed endangered subspecies, is the only extant native terrestrial mammal in the Hawaiian archipelago. It is an insectivorous, solitary and foliage-roosting species that generally roosts alone or in mother-pup family groups. This data release consists of three tabular datasets comprising acoustic and thermal video data of Hawaiian hoary bat behavior at wind turbines. One dataset consists of the acoustic and video detections of bats tabulated by night and turbine, and associated weather and turbine operational data used in analyses. The other two datasets consist of the individual detections, catalogued separately for the acoustic and video data sources.

Purpose

The Hawaii Endangered Species Recovery Committee has identified research on distribution and trends, habitat suitability, and take monitoring among priority information needed to inform best management actions for the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus). This study examined the behavior of Hawaiian hoary bats at wind turbines operated by Auwahi Wind Energy, LLC, on southern Maui Island, from August to November 2018. The research was conducted to assess the risk that wind turbines pose to bats at the wind energy facility, and compared information obtained from both acoustic monitoring and thermal videography.
