Replication Data for: Species richness and elevational patterns of bats on the subtropical islands of Taiwan

We investigated bat fauna on subtropical islands of east Asia and aimed to determine the patterns of species richness, endemism and seasonal movement of bats along elevational gradients. Bat surveys were conducted extensively across various habitats and elevations in Taiwan's main island and 15 outlying islets. Species composition, endemism, distribution of elevational range and biodiversity indices along elevations were assessed. A total of 37 species were recorded. Bats represent the most species-rich terrestrial mammalian order in Taiwan.

本研究针对东亚亚热带岛屿的蝙蝠区系展开调查，旨在明确蝙蝠沿海拔梯度的物种丰富度、特有性及季节迁移模式。研究团队在台湾主岛与15座离岸小岛的多样生境及海拔区间内开展了广泛的蝙蝠调查，对沿海拔梯度的物种组成、特有性、海拔分布范围格局与生物多样性指数进行了评估。本次调查共记录到37种蝙蝠，蝙蝠为台湾物种丰富度最高的陆生哺乳纲类群。
