In total, we collected 78.859 GB of data, consisting of 15,893 recording files. The software analysis identified a total of 3853 recordings as a species. out of which 2780 were unidentified and 9260 were noise. Our results revealed the presence of 24 bat species belonging to ten genera and two families (Table 1). These genera included Barbastella (1 species), Eptesicus (3), Hypsugo (1), Miniopterus(1), Myotis (7), Nyctalus (3), Pipistrellus (4),Plecotus (2), Tadarida (1) and Vespertilio (1).
Table 1 also presents the acoustic parameters of 24 bat species, indicating that the maximum frequency (Fmax) is 96.695 ± 6.619 kHz and the minimum frequency (Fmin) is 14.103 ± 0.412 kHz. The duration of sound waves ranges from the longest at 13.106 ± 3.261 ms to the shortest at only 2.462 ± 0.258 ms. With the exception of Miniopterus schreibersii and P. nathusii , the Qual values are less than 10%, indicating that the collected bat sound waves are of high quality and can be used for further analysis.
