JENIS KELELAWAR PEMAKAN BUAH (Pteropodidae) DI KAWASAN GUA THANG RAYA KECAMATAN BEDUAI KABUPATEN SANGGAU KALIMANTAN BARAT
ABSTRCT: Bats are very
important for the ecosystem including for pollination as well as the spread of plants.
Forest clearing for plantation becomes a threat to bats to fine food in fruits
trees,specially frugivorous bats (Pteropodidae). The aim of this study is to
determine the speciesdiversity of frugivorous bats (Pteropodidae) in the area
of Thang Raya Cave in Subdistrictof Beduai Sanggau Regency West Kalimantan, and
the results of this study are expected toprovide information about the types of
frugivorous bats (Pteropodidae) that can be used inecosystem management in the
region of Thang Raya Cave. This research used the catchand release method with
mist nets as many as 6 pieces. This mist nets were placed purposively at three
research sites namely at the around of watershed, fruit trees andThang raya
Cave. The bats caught were measured, identified and tagged and then released.From

and cynopterus horsfieldi with the number of individual 24 males and 7 femakes.
The highest dominanceindeks of bats found in the around of the Thnag Raya Café
was (1,00), the indeks ofhighest species diversity was found at of fruit trees
(0,23), the evenness index was the highest at of fruit trees (0,76), the index
of species richness was the highest at of fruit trees (1,05), and the similarty
index was the highest at between the fruit trees and Thang RayaCave (0,82).
