Short summary
We studied bats on Flores Island to understand which species are present and how they use the landscape. Using sound recordings and genetic analysis, we confirmed two species, including the first record of the Azorean bat on the island. One species was widespread and abundant, while the other was rare. These findings improve knowledge of island biodiversity and support the need for continued monitoring and conservation of small, isolated bat populations.
