Abstract

This dataset consists of counts of detections of echolocation clicks at three sites in the Hawaiian Islands Archipelago. These sites are Hawaii, Kauai, and Manawai (also known as Pearl and Hermes Reef). Echolocation clicks have been labeled using a neural network classifier that was trained and tested on data from the Hawaiian Islands and can successfully identify many species of regionally present odontocetes. During the labeling process, clicks were grouped into one-minute bins and each bin was given a species' label. The data provided here is further binned at an hourly level, where counts of a given species represent the number of one-minute bins within a given hour that were labeled as that species (up to a maximum of 60). One file is provided per site, and files are in .csv format that can be read using any desired coding language.
