Fact Sheet Introduction
Conventional wisdom has it that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to master a given subject (Gladwell 2008). The majority of biologists who have recently begun using acoustic survey methods do not have a long history of field experience or the luxury of time to master identification of bats by their unique vocal signatures. The promise of automatic identification of bat calls with the plethora of acoustic identification software providing accurate identifications remains a work in progress (e.g., Lemen et al. 2015). This is especially true for Neotropical species where one of us (B. Miller) provided verified bat call files representing >100 species and five families to Wildlife Acoustics (Wildlife Acoustics 2018) for use in creating automatic classifiers for species. When these classifiers were challenged with new verified data that was not part of the training set correct identifications generally fell in the range of less than 40%.
In the absence of freely available robust call libraries bat biologists have lacked resources to learn important details of identification of vocal signatures to both assist with their own manual identifications as well as vet the auto-ID algorithms. With more than 20 years of field experience of recording bats and teaching > 25 acoustic workshops from the U.S. to Bolivia and Cuba it became clear bat biologists needed resources to assist their own identifications. To this end, call fact sheets and interactive identification keys have been under development to be freely distributed to those who may need them.
The Fact Sheets are being developed using the Fact Sheet Fusion (Identic Pty Ltd. 2018a) and the LucId identificatrion key (Identic Pty Ltd. 2018b) software platforms licensed to B. Miller. Call parmeters have been extracted from the master call database that includes > 1,886,000 call records recorded from the U.S. south to Argentina and Caribbean Islands. Call paramters from published sources are also included.
Fact sheets are under development for U.S. states, Caribbean islands and New World countries. Belize fact sheets were released in May, 2018 (Miller 2018) and the draft Costa Rican fact sheets were presented at the 48th Annual conference of the North American Society for Bat Research, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (Miller et al. 2018). The English version of the Peruvian fact sheets authored by Bruce W. Miller and Farah Carrasco Rueda are included here as a working draft. A Spanish version is also in draft format.
The Fact Sheets have been created using the key vocal signature components determined to be useful for species identifications and discrimination. Each species fact sheet includes eleven topics and an interlinked glossary of relevant terms users may be unfamiliar with.
The Fact Sheet topics are listed below with a brief description of the content.
• Scientific name with author. Currently recognized name.
• Common names and synonyms. Local common names and relevant synonyms • Family. The family the species belongs to. • Database species code. A six-letter code used in the master database and frequently used
in the metadata for bat call files in the varied call software viewing and analyses packages. This is comprised of the first three letters of the genus and first three letters of the species.
• Call shape. Call shapes are diagnostic for species identification and frequently includes genera and familial attributers. Graphics are provided showing the call shapes and examples of potential confusing overlaps and or similarity with other taxa.
• Vocal signature parameters. These include 10 key call parameters useful for species identification. Each call parameter includes values for the number of call pulses measured: N with Min, Max, Mean, St.Dev, and percentage bins showing the values for 10%, 25%, 75% and 90% of the call values. Additionally two harmonic values of the characteristic frequency (Fc) are provided for the fundamental (H1) and third harmonic (H3) are also provided.
• The parameters include: ! Dur – duration of each call pulse measured in milliseconds ! TBC – the time between call pulses also known as the interpulse time
measured in milliseconds ! Fmin – the minimum frequency recorded measured in kHz ! Fmax – the maximum frequency recorded measured in kHz ! BW – bandwidth of the call pulses measured in kHz ! Fmean – the mean frequency measured call sequence measured in kHz ! Fk – the frequency of the knee of the call pulse measured in kHz ! Fc – the characteristic frequency of the calls measured in kHz ! Sc – the characteristic slope of the call pulses measured as octave per
second ! Pmc – a calculated parameter defined as the Proportion of Maximum
frequency to Characteristic frequency. Pmc = 100 * (Fmax - Fc) / Fc. Published call parameters with citations are included when available
• Source of acoustic data. Listing of data sources of acoustic data • Known distribution. This includes the known distributions by each country’s
administrative regions, such as state, district of province and has been extracted from eh I.U.C.N. Global Mammal Assessment G.I.S. spatial data.
• Conservation status is provided and include both I.U.C.N categories and national categories when available
• Notes – this section includes relevant notes when appropriate on a given taxa that may realty to taxonomy, confusing calls of other species etc.
• Citations – this includes citations for all published sources • Authors – these are the authors and collaborators of the specific country fact sheets.
Auto Id not yet reliable
Lemen et al (2015) compared 4 programs designed to identify species of bats based on their echolocation calls (Bat Call ID, EchoClass, Kaleidoscope Pro, and SonoBat). They used >29,000 call files recorded in Nebraska, USA. The initial assumption was there would be agreement between software packages when identifying the same call sequences. They found that identification agreement only averaged approximately 40% and varied by software package, species, and data set. They demonstrated that results of the auto identifications were not consistent with the high accuracy often claimed by some software packages (Lemen et al. 2015).

The Lasiurines have a distinctive Fc, Fmin that irregularly changes frequency up and down.
Note that Lasiurine commute calls are flat looking pulses of longer duration and narrow band.
All zero-crossing images are displayed in AnalookW as a compressed view with empty space removed to display the call sequence pattern.
The X-axis is in milliseconds and the Y-axis is a logarithmic scale in kHz.

NotesNotes
Baird, et al. (2015) make a strong case for elevating the subgenera of Lasiurus to full genera. This change results in the "yellow bats" being
elevated to the genus Dasypterus, hoary bats being elevated to the genus Aeorestes and red bats remaining in the genus Lasiurus.

Call shapeCall shape
QCF single decreasing frequency pulses. Search phase calls are generally longer duration and narrow bandwidth. Calls while arriving at and
departing roosts are clutter type calls and are not diagnostic. These are generally wide bandwidth and considerably shorter duration pulses.
Eumops commuting call pulses have a very narrow bandwidth and long duration, generally lower in frequency than search phase calls.

NotesNotes
The only verified calls as of Oct. 17, 2017 are from hand released light tagged bats in Argentina. Most of the call fliles were typical high clutter
calls seen with hand releases that are similar to bats leaving or entering a roost. The examples shown in the call shape section include the
clutter calls between search phase pulses.

Call shapeCall shape
QCF single decreasing frequency pulses. Search phase calls are generally longer duration and narrow bandwidth. Calls
while arriving at and departing roosts are clutter type calls and are not diagnostic. These are generally wide bandwidth
and considerably shorter duration pulses. Eumops commuting call pulses have a very narrow bandwidth and long duration,
generally lower in frequency than search phase calls.

NotesNotes
Baird, et al. (2015) make a strong case for elevating the subgenera of Lasiurus to full genera. This change results in the "yellow bats" being
elevated to the genus Dasypterus, hoary bats being elevated to the genus Aeorestes and red bats remaining in the genus Lasiurus.
The Mexican and Central American subspecies of L. blossevillii (L. b. teliotis and L. b. frantzii) are genetically quite divergent from the
remaining L. blossevillii from South America (Baird et al., 2012)

NotesNotes
taxonomic note: "Called ater by many authors, but see Carter and Dolan (1978) and Dolan (1989), who argued, based on
descriptions of head and ear shape of both taxa, and examination of the specimens labeled as types of rufus in the
Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, that Molossus ater Geoffroy, 1805, is really an Eumops, and that rufus is
really the correct name for the large Molossus often incorrectly called ater." Simmons, N. 2005. in Wilson and Reeder. 2005.

NotesNotes
Lasrsen et al. (2012) note that the expansive geographic distribution of M. nigricans is likely a result of failing to distinguish unrecognized
species. DNA sequence data (Lasrsen et al., 2012)indicated that M. nigricans likely has a more restricted distribution than previously thought.
Myonig may only be found in a small region of South America (i.e., south-eastern Brazil). They state that “If this hypothesis is accurate, then the
identification of all little brown Myotis as ‘M. nigricans’ (although convenient) does not accurately reflect the diversity of small, brown, and
morphologically similar Neotropical Myotis” (Lasrsen et al., 2012).

Frequently calls include paired pulses of increasing frequency low/fm up qcf pulses at one narrow range with higher frequency pulses well
above the lower pulses that decrease from as a high fm down to a qcf pulses.
Note that it is common to only record the only lower increasing frequency pulses during the search phase.
The commute phase calls have a very distinctive long duration CF component followed by an increasing fm component at the end of each
pulse.
Feeding buzzes are typical of Molossids with a very short pulse duration and large band width.
Very long duration >75 ms commute calls

Single QCF inverted "U" pulses, shown in zero-crossing (AnalookW v 4.2.n) and WAV format (Kaleidoscope 4.5.1). The latter showing multiple
harmonics with the maximum call energy being on the H2. These pulses are similar to both species of Centronycteris.
This single pulse pattern is also occasionally seen in S. bilineata when hanging stationary on vegetation. When actively flying Sacbil reverts to
the stepped alternating high/low two frequency pulses.
