Surveying bat populations and activity with ultrasonic bat detectors is a widespread practice in microchiropteran field research. We conducted tests on two aspects of bat detector use: vertical deployment of detectors and identification of species by call. The number of bat calls recorded from simultaneous bat detector surveys, conducted at tree canopy-level and at ground-level with Anabat II d...
