Comparative distribution and abundance of bats in selected localities in Sarawak

Borneo is the third largest island in the world and holds a big variety of flora and fauna including bats. The diversity of bats in this island has been progressively documented by several authors but most of these data are outdated thus prompting the attempt to document current and previous chiropt...
