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 et al. (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 et al., 2018). See the Materials and Methods section in Haest et al. (2020) for more details on the dataset.
