Abstract
The list of bats is based on data collected using naked eye and a bat detector from November 2022 to March 2024. In total, 16 species, 11 genera belonging to five families are listed. The most speciose family is Pteropodidae (5 species), followed by Vespertilionidae (4 species), Rhinolophidae (3 species), Hipposideridae (3 species), and Emballonuridae (1 species). The most common species found along the stream were Eonycteris spelaea, Hipposideros larvatus, and Cynopterus sphinx, respectively. In garden areas, the most common species were Hipposideros larvatus, Cynopterus sphinx, and Scotophilus kuhlii, indicating that habitat types influence the presence of different bat species. Comparison of bat population in each season, the rainy season was found to support the highest species diversity among bat communities.
