Abstract
The ecology of Scotophilus kuhlii is poorly known. Thus, this study was done to determine the activity pattern of the bats. Radio tracking was done for ten bats (five males and five females) in September and October 2014. The tracking was done after the transmitter were glued behind bats below their scapula. From this study, the mean home range size of S. kuhlii in agriculture (0.68km2) was higher than that in urban landscape (0.37km2). The overlapping between males and females bats home ranges showed that this occurs due to existence of many food resources in the region. This is an important ecological information so that the conservation effort can be done accordingly. This is due to different species may differ in their responses to environmental factors such as habitat fragmentation.
