Post-white-nose syndrome passive acoustic sampling effort for determining bat species occupancy within the mid-Atlantic region

We assessed the sampling effort requirements for detecting the presence of extant bat species following the impact of white-nose syndrome in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. We acoustically sampled 27,796 nights across 846 sites between 15 May and 15 August 2016–2018 within the District...
