2/5 #WBTC1 #Conserve3 We captured 30
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦇" title="Bat" aria-label="Emoji: Bat"> species. 23/30 species were exclusively captured in the forested zones (core and buffer). Capture using harp trap was greater in forested zone (core & buffer). Mist net captures was greater in transition and extralimital.

4/5 #WBTC1 #Conserve3 Forested zones (core and buffer) protect sensitive forest-dependent species. Pteropodids were captured across all zones but higher diversity and abundance recorded from extralimital zones.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦇" title="Bat" aria-label="Emoji: Bat"> ensembles differ in response to use zones in tropical biosphere reserves. Forested zones (core and buffer) must be retained for forest-interior spp., but other zones are as important for other ensembles. Collectively, these zones protect
