| Abstract: | The roosts of S. leucogaster were located by radio-tracking in Mopani woodland in the Sengwa Wildlife Research Area in Zimbabwe between Jan. 14 and Feb. 12, 1982. Bats changed roost trees from 1 day to the next, usually staying within relatively small areas of woodland. Bats frequently moved between night and day roosts. This behavior made it impossible to predict the location of bats from 1 day to the next. |
