Observations on the activity patterns of the lesser yellow house bat, Scotophilus viridis

Abstract

The activity patterns of the lesser yellow house bat, Scotophilus viridis, were observed during December 1984. Whilst the activity patterns of the species as a whole were in agreement with published data, significant differences between the activity pattems of males and females were found. The majority of females were active between 19h00 and 21h00, whilst the activity of males peaked between 21h00 and 22h00.
