“…Yet, in the context of insular fragmented landscapes, edge density depicts the delineation between terrestrial habitat (here forest) and freshwater habitat (here open water). With the exception of a few species (e.g., Miniopterus magnater, Myotis hasseltii , Cynopterus horsfieldii , see Lim et al (2017)) bats are not known to forage above open water in our study area; as such, the negative effects of edge density on total bat activity are likely the result of this high forest-matrix contrast. Moreover, even edge-adapted bats showed a negative response to edge density, which was unexpected considering that they have been reported to be unaffected or positively affected by edge effects (Froidevaux et al 2022; Yoh, Clarke, et al 2022), and tolerant to forest disturbances, such as logging (Struebig et al 2013).…”

“…A checklist of bat species for Johor was compiled based on published records and data from the present study, resulting in a total of 52 species documented for the state (Table S1) [25,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55]. Of the 14 species recorded during this survey (Table S2, Figure S1) [29,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68], two represent new state records for Johor; A. societatis and H. dyacorum (Figure 4).…”

“…A total of 12% variation in the cytochrome b gene between the Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia populations has led to the revision of the species name of the latter population as Balionycteris seimundi , and the former as B. maculata ( Khan et al 2008 ; Lim et al 2017 ). Following this finding, B.…”

Hipposideros diadema is primarily a cave-dweller but has been found in crevices of boulders, tree hollows, and solitary under palm fronds in both primary and secondary forests ( Kingston et al 2006 ; Lim et al 2017 ). Currently, 15 subspecies of this species are known ( Aguilar and Waldien 2021 ).…”
