| Summary: | This thesis study was conducted as an attempt to compare between the wing loading and aspect ratio of fruit bats
(Family Pteropodidae) and roundleaf (Family fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference Hipposideridae) bats to describe the habitat preference of both fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference
families using secondary data from previous studies. Based on the wing tracing and calculation of flight
morphology of bats, classification of bats were based on high, medium, and low wing loading and aspect ratio.
The study shows that fruit bats have relatively high wing loading and aspect ratio whereas roundleaf bats have
low wing loading and aspect ratio. Bats with higher wing loading and aspect ratio were commonly occupy
habitat with less cluttered while bats with lower wing loading and aspect ratio were commonly occupy cluttered
habitat. There are high degrees of species overlap between the two families of bats in which they occupies the fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference

This might increase the competition on roosting area as well as foraging behavior between species. fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference fruit bats, roundleaf bats, wing loading, aspect ratio, habitat preference
