A key to the known echolocation calls of the New World bats.  The key is based on standard call parameters as measured using varied bat call recording hardware and parameters extracted with a variety of software.  These include SonoBat, BatSound, AnalookW, Scanr, and others.    Calls of species of the known Phyllostomidae are included in the distributions and when the scant call parameters are known these are included.

 This key is a revision of WATTLE Acacias of Australia that was published on CD in 2001.

WATTLE ver. 2 includes 1223 taxa of Acacia sens. lat. that occur in Australia. These include all formally described taxa of Acacia sens. str., Acaciella, Vachellia and Senegalia. Undescribed (phrase named) taxa and hybrids are included in the key where these entities exist in the public domain accompanied by a description.

This interim edition of WATTLE ver. 2 does not include species profiles for the taxa. The fully implemented version of the key will be deployed on the Atlas of Living Australia site in the near future. Users will be notified here when this is about to occur.

Descriptions and illustrations of taxa that were included in WATTLE ver. 1 (2001) can be sourced from the WorldWideWattle website (http://www.worldwidewattle.com/speciesgallery/browse.php?l=a); photographs of most taxa included in WATTLE ver. 2 are also available in this same place.
