Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Seven species belonging to 5 genera of 4 families were recorded during May 2011 and September 2012 in Charsadda, Kohat, Mardan, Nowshera and Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The bat species included: one fruit bat species (Pteropus giganteus; Pteropodidae), one fulvus leaf-nosed bat (Hipposideros fulvus; Hipposideridae), one greater mouse-tailed bat (Rhinopoma microphyllum; Rhinopomitidae), three Pipistrellus bats of Vespertilionidae (Indian Pipistrellus, Pipistrellus coromandra; least Pipistrellus, P. tenuis; Jawan Pipistrellus, P. javinacum) and one greater Asiatic yellow house bat (Scotophilus heathii; Vespertilionidae). A detailed study is required for further exploration of bat fauna in the study areas.
