PARTICIPANT REGISTRATION


The Western Section of The Wildlife Society
Advanced Bat Acoustics: A Master Class
January 14-15, 2021
Taught Remotely
Description This Expert Series workshop will guide participants in improving their acoustic bat data vetting skills on the SonoBat platform. We will focus on methods to differentiate call and sequence characteristics that support confident species identification, and those that indicate when not to assign a species identification. The format consists of lectures and hands-on data workshopping.

Lecture topics include: recognizing species-discriminating characteristics, identifying situations that lead to ambiguity, interpreting vital behavioral clues from sequences, reviewing special features such as social vocalizations, and implementing techniques for intelligent processing of large data sets.

Participants will train these skills by “data jamming” on both their own and shared data.

Audience: We gear this workshop toward the professional wildlife biologist with bat acoustic analysis experience (or those having taken a previous TWS or other bat acoustic workshop).

TWS Western Section Membership
TWS-WS Covid19 Membership Discounts

We understand that some of our members are being hit hard financially as a result of the pandemic. As such, until the end of 2021, the Western Section and generous donors are offering free or discounted TWS-WS membership to those who are facing financial hardship due to Covid-19. We ask that members pay their dues on the honor system at the rate they feel comfortable paying — either no cost, 50% discount or full cost.

Please note, we are counting more than ever on full-cost renewals from those who have been fortunate enough to not be financially affected by Covid19 in order to maintain the financial health of the Western Section. Also, for those who are feeling secure enough to do so, consider making the jump to life member right now to support the Section during this difficult time. Donations to support affected members are also appreciated.
