A website is calling on citizen scientists to help researchers monitor and record Europe's bat population.

The Bat Detective website (http://www.batdetective.org/) needs people to help identify bat calls to help develop automated identification tools.

The site converts normally inaudible bat calls into something humans can hear and provides information needed to help visitors identify species.

Scientists say understanding bat populations provides an important indicator of ecosystem health.
