Species

Account

What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

conservation · Plazi

Status and Conservation. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List. The Guadeloupe Serotine is known from less than five locations and has an extent of occurrence smaller than 850 km ®. Populations seem to be small, and recent broad acoustic surveys obtained very few records of it. Major threats include habitat decline due to human actvities, tropical hurricanes, and introduction of exotic species such as rats, mice, and mongooses. Conservation actions include research on abundance cycles, echolocation monitoring, and protection of potential habitats (humid and gallery forests).

activity · Plazi

Activity patterns. The Guadeloupe Serotine seems to roost in hollow trees in gallery forests. Abundance of populations possibly increases and decreases in annual cycles, which might be related to prey cycles. Echolocation calls have FM components that sweep down from 45-50 kHz to ¢.25 kHz. Pulseslast ¢.10 milliseconds, and frequencies of maximum energy are 25-30 kHz.
