Contribution of regenerated forest in conservation of bats in Peninsular Malaysia

Contribution of regenerated forest in conservation of bats in Peninsular Malaysia

Surveys of bats were conducted at six regenerated forest sampling sites, namely, Sungai Dusun Forest Reserve (FR), Fraser Hill FR, Lata Bujang FR, Tasek Bera FR, Endau–Kluang FR and Endau–Kota Tinggi FR. A total of 289 individuals representing 35 species of bats were recorded. Endau–Kota Tinggi F...
