Meetnetten.be - Bat winter roosts counts (per site) Flanders, Belgium is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It is part of the Meetnetten.be suite of monitoring networks for priority species in Flanders, in which data are collected at fixed locations using a standardized protocol (https://meetnetten.be). This dataset contains winter roosts count data of bats per site. Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each sampling event an eventID, date, location and sampling protocol (in the event core), and for each occurrence an occurrenceID, the number of recorded individuals, status (present/absent), scientific name and taxon rank (in the occurrence extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/inbo/meetnetten-occurrences/issuesGeneralized and/or withheld information: as this dataset includes sensitive priority species, location information is generalized for all bat species to 5 or 10 km Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid cells. Original locations are available upon request.We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver. We would appreciate it if you follow the INBO norms for data use (https://www.inbo.be/en/norms-data-use) when using the data. If you have any questions regarding this dataset, don't hesitate to contact us via the contact information provided in the metadata or via opendata@inbo.be.For all published Meetnetten.be datasets, see https://www.gbif.org/dataset/search?project_id=meetnetten.be

All bats are in the target scope of these winter roosts counts in Meetnetten.be, as listed at https://meetnetten.be/projects/79/. Other animals observed during these count events are also included, typically as casual observations of accompanying species.

Researchers from INBO and Natuurpunt Studie define and document the appropriate sampling protocol for the target species.
Fieldwork is planned and coordinated by Natuurpunt Studie, using https://meetnetten.be.
Data are collected in the field by specialized volunteers, using the predefined sampling protocol.
Volunteers enter the collected data in https://meetnetten.be.
A custom SQL view is created in the meetnetten.be database to map the original data to Darwin Core as an event core and occurrence extension.
The Darwin Core views are connected to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
Located throughout Flanders, bats are counted at hibernation sites during winter.
Counts of winter roosts in which only the totals per species are registered for the entire hibernation site. This protocol is used for sites without sublocations (mostly small sites such as cellars or bunkers), or sites with sublocations but without registration per individual or sublocations.
Data are collected using predefined sampling protocol.

pointOfContact
Meetnetten.be is a suite of monitoring networks through which the Flemish Government is collecting high-quality information on 65 priority plant and animal species. These are species on which Flanders has to report to Europe in the framework of the Habitats and Birds Directives, but also other species that are important for the Flemish nature policy.
Flemish Government
Flanders, Belgium
Each monitoring network consists of fixed sample locations in which target species are counted based on a standardized protocol. Data collection relies mainly on specialized volunteers, coordinated by the NGO Natuurpunt Studie. Fieldwork is planned and monitored with the web tool https://meetnetten.be, which is also used for entering the collected data.
