Molecular tracing of spectacled flying-fox (Pteropus conspicillatus) movements in rainforests and orchards of wet tropical Queensland

潮湿热带昆士兰州雨林和果园中狐蝠运动的分子示踪。这个项目使用分子标记来追踪昆士兰州北部潮湿热带地区狐蝠的活动。其目的是确定蝙蝠访问果园的起源，确定蝙蝠的季节性和季节内迁移的模式，并记录这种迁移对估计种群数量和趋势的意义。这些数据对于蝙蝠种群的保护、该地区水果种植的生态可持续发展以及湿热带世界遗产地区的长期可持续管理至关重要。

Molecular tracing of spectacled flying-fox (Pteropus conspicillatus) movements in rainforests and orchards of wet tropical Queensland. This project uses molecular markers to trace movements of spectacled flying-foxes in the wet tropics of north Queensland. The intention is to determine the origins of bats visiting orchards, determine patterns of seasonal and intra-seasonal migration of bats and to document the significance of such migrations to estimation of population numbers and trends. These data are critical to conservation of bat populations, to the ecologically sustainable development of fruit growing in the region and the long term sustainable management of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
