Bat monitoring is a process of collecting data on bats in their natural habitats. This data is used to track bat populations, monitor their health and to ensure that the environment remains suitable for them. Temperature and humidity recorders can be used in bat monitoring to measure the environmental conditions that bats need for survival. This information can be used to protect and conserve bat habitats and monitor changes in their populations over long periods.
Temperature and humidity are important factors to monitor in bat habitats because they can affect the health and survival of bats. If the temperature in a bat habitat becomes too hot or too cold, it can lead to stress on the bats and negatively impact their health. Too much humidity can lead to fungal growth in bats, while too little humidity can cause bats to become dehydrated.
How Temperature & Humidity Monitors Have Helped Successfully Monitor Bats in the Wild
The National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP) is currently carrying out its annual hibernation survey which monitors changes in the British Bat populations. Bat hibernation sites are surveyed annually by individuals and conversation volunteers throughout the UK. The aim of this is to collect and analyse counts from across the UK to product species population trends.
According to NBMP bat numbers across the UK have been declining dramatically over the last 10 years, by monitoring and observing bats across the country, they discover how they survive and what can be done to ensure their survival. Due to the spread of Covid-19, many sites have remained unvisited for some time as precautions were taken to avoid passing on SARS-Cov-2 (the virus that causes the disease COVID-19) to the bats being monitored.
