Data for: "Climatic drivers of (changes in) bat migration phenology at Bracken Cave (USA)"

This dataset contains the spring and autumn migration phenology dataset used in Haest <em>et al.</em> (2020) to determine the drivers of migration phenology of Brazilian free-tailed bats at Bracken Cave (USA) over the period 1995-2017. The phenology dataset was derived from nightly colony population sizes estimated using weather radar data (Stepanian <em>et al.</em>, 2018). See the Materials and Methods section in Haest <em>et al.</em> (2020) for more details on the dataset. References: Haest, B., Stepanian, P. M., Wainwright, C. E., Liechti, F., &amp; Bauer, S. (2021).
