Bats of the YUS Conservation Area Papua New Guinea

Abstract

[Extract] This project provides the first description of bat community structure across a complete altitudinal gradient in Papua New Guinea (from sea-level to 3000m), assembles the largest reference collection of echolocation calls for Papua New Guinean bats (22 species, a valuable tool for species inventory work), and provides species accounts for all 22 microchiropteran (& 4 megachiropteran) bats captured in the YUS Conservation Area.
