Metadata for: DarkCideS 1.0, a global database for bats in karsts and caves

This database contains 4 major datasets<br><br>1. The first dataset contains taxonomic checklists for all extant cave-dwelling bats species extracted from the expert-based International Union for the Conservation Union (IUCN) Red List database version 2020.1. It also contains the General metadata for traits included in the current version of the database: habitat preference, ecological status, feeding groups, geographical range, island endemism, geopolitical endemism, distribution range, biogeographical breadth, generation length, body mass, and threatening process.2. The second dataset contains the bat cave geographical location (latitude/longitude) and recorded species.3. The third dataset included in the database contains the measured land-use and landscape features of the cave surroundings using the georeferenced data from the second dataset. Reference for individual entries in Dataset 3 are included in Dataset 2.4. The fourth dataset lists the parasitic bat flies and their Laboulbeniales fungal hyperparasites associated with cave bats.

本数据库包含4个主要数据集<br><br>1. 首个数据集提取自2020.1版基于专家意见编制的国际自然保护联盟（International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN）红色名录数据库，收录所有现存洞穴栖蝙蝠物种的分类学名录。同时收录当前数据库版本所纳入的各类性状的通用元数据：栖息地偏好、生态现状、摄食类群、地理分布范围、岛屿特有性、地缘特有性、分布幅、世代长度、体重以及受胁进程。<br><br>2. 第二个数据集包含蝙蝠洞穴的地理位置（纬度/经度）以及实测记录的蝙蝠物种信息。<br><br>3. 本数据库的第三个数据集基于第二个数据集的地理参考数据，对洞穴周边的土地利用与景观特征进行了实测。数据集3的各条目参考文献均收录于数据集2中。<br><br>4. 第四个数据集列出了与洞穴蝙蝠相关的寄生蝙蝠蝇及其虫囊菌目（Laboulbeniales）真菌重寄生物。
