Bat surveys in Papua New Guinea

Stefan Greif brought a report on bat surveys of the YUS conservation area of Papua New Guinea to my attention, authored by Simon K.A. Robson, Tamara E. Inkster, Andrew K. Krockenberger.

From the executive summary “This project provides the first description of bat community structure across a complete elevational 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”
