Activity patterns. Unlikeits sibling species, the Eurasian Particolored Bat ( Vespertilio murinus ), the Asian Particolored Bat tends to start foraging early at night, hunting insects in open areas. It roosts in hollow trees, buildings, and caves along the coast, and also within foliage. InJapan, it has also occupied some wood and laminar bat boxes, although never to date in the form of a maternity colony (mainly during the postlactating period). In general roost preferences change with season and internal temperature in the cavities. The species emits typical broadband modulated calls, highly plastic depending on the environment and clutter within the nearby vegetation. Typical echolocation pulses are FM/QCEF, with peak frequency at ¢.30-8 kHz, maximum frequency at ¢.46 kHz, minimum frequency at 22-8 kHz, and bandwidth at 23-2 kHz. In most areas, it is difficult to distinguish from other sympatric vespertilionids by means only of acoustic testing.
