Description
Summary:A roost survey of cave-dwelling bats in Wind Cave Nature Reserve was conducted for 11 days from July 2013 until April 2014. This study aims to pioneer roosting ecology of bats in WCNR. A total of 462 observations were made and recorded five families of bats comprising of 11 species of bats. This species includes Penthetor lucasi, Megaderma spasma, Myotis horsfieldii, Rhinolophus borneensis, R. affinis, Hipposideros ater, H. diadema, H. larvatus, H. cervinus, H. coxi and H. galeritus. The most abundant species observed was P. lucasi, most roost observations was M. horsfieldii with 136 observations and Hipposideridae with the highest number of species with 6 species. Statistical analysis shows association exist between roost behaviour with bats assemblages.
