title: Avifaunal and Herpetofaunal point counts with recorded acoustic data

description: <b>Description: </b>A series of 20 minute avifaunal and herpetofaunal point counts conducted throughout the SAFE landscape across a land degradation gradient. Point counts were spread evenly throughout the 24 hours of the day. Associated with each point count is an audio recording file, so (theoretically) this could be used as a training dataset for automated bioacoustic studies. Jani Sleutel was responsible for avifaunal surveys and Adi Shabrani / Nursyamin Zulkifli for herpetofaunal data. This experiment was primarily designed by Sarab Sethi and Rob Ewers as part of the WWF Biome Health project. Full acoustic data is hosted elsewhere, contact Sarab for more information.<b>Project: </b>This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <b>Continuous bio-acoustic monitoring (2020 extension)</b><b>Funding: </b>These data were collected as part of research funded by: NERC (NERC SSCP DTP Studentship, https://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/education/science-and-solutions-for-a-changing-planet-dtp/)WWF (WWF biome health project, https://www.biomehealthproject.com/)This dataset is released under the CC-BY 4.0 licence, requiring that you cite the dataset in any outputs, but has the additional condition that you acknowledge the contribution of these funders in any outputs.<b>Permits: </b>These data were collected under permit from the following authorities:Sabah research council (Research licence JKM/MBS.1000-2/2 JLD.8 (63))<b>XML metadata: </b>GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available here<b>Files: </b>This consists of 1 file: Sarab_point_count_data_SAFE_formatted_aug_2020.xlsx<b>Sarab_point_count_data_SAFE_formatted_aug_2020.xlsx</b>This file contains dataset metadata and 3 data tables:<b>Point count recordings</b> (described in worksheet Point_count_recordings)Description: Audio files and collectionNumber of fields: 9Number of data rows: 1482Fields: <b>Point_count_ID</b>: Point count location (Field type: id)<b>Audio_file</b>: Audio file ID (Field type: id)<b>Site</b>: Location in the SAFE landscape (Field type: location)<b>Date</b>: Date of recording (Field type: date)<b>Time</b>: Time of recording (Field type: time)<b>Weather</b>: Weather conditions of recording (Field type: comments)<b>Adi_Syamin</b>: Research assistant (Field type: numeric)<b>Jani</b>: Research assistant (Field type: numeric)<b>Notes</b>: Notes (Field type: comments)<b>Point count data</b> (described in worksheet Point_count_data)Description: Animals visually and audially observedNumber of fields: 8Number of data rows: 12985Fields: <b>Point_count_ID</b>: Point count location (Field type: id)<b>Site</b>: Location in the SAFE landscape (Field type: location)<b>Species_common_name</b>: Common name of species seen and/or seen (Field type: taxa)<b>Est_distance</b>: Estimated distance of species (Field type: numeric)<b>PC_time</b>: Time within the Point Count (0-20mins) (Field type: time)<b>Time_of_day</b>: The time of the observation (Field type: time)<b>Audio_visual</b>: Visual or Audio sighting (Field type: categorical)<b>Notes</b>: Notes (Field type: comments)<b>Audio moths</b> (described in worksheet Audio_moths)Description: Location and collection of recorder Number of fields: 9Number of data rows: 81Fields: <b>Audio_file</b>: Point count location (Field type: id)<b>Site</b>: Location in the SAFE landscape (Field type: location)<b>Audio_moth_ID</b>: Audio file ID (Field type: id)<b>Tree</b>: Location of recorder (Field type: categorical)<b>Setup_date</b>: Date the recorder was placed in forest (Field type: date)<b>Setup_time</b>: Time the recorder was set up in forest (Field type: time)<b>Collect_date</b>: Date the recorder was collected (Field type: date)<b>Collect_time</b>: Time the recorder was collected (Field type: time)<b>Notes</b>: Notes (Field type: comments)<b>Date range: </b>2018-03-06 to 2020-03-01<b>Latitudinal extent: </b>4.5000 to 5.0700<b>Longitudinal extent: </b>116.7500 to 117.8200<b>Taxonomic coverage: </b><br> All taxon names are validated against the GBIF backbone taxonomy.
