Temperature's Impact on the Number of Recorded Bat Calls in Copenhagen, Denmark

Alyssa Curry

The goal of this research is determining how increased temperatures impact the number of bat calls recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark. In July 2022, Denmark experienced a record-breaking heat wave. I hypothesized that there would be more bat calls in July 2022 than in 2021. I analyzed July 2021 and 2022 calls recorded from a bat detector in a suburban garden and found that there were significantly more calls in 2022 after the heat wave started.
