Abstract:The present experiment was carried out in Luotong Mountain Natural Reserve in Jilin Province, China, 2007. We recorded and analyzed the echolocation calls of Rhinolophus ferrumquinum in different habitats by using Avisoft Bioacoustics USG 116 and Avisoft-SASLAB PRO (Avisoft Bioacoustics, Berlin, Germany). Our results showed that R. ferrmequinum occurred in diverse habitats in the study area, and their echolocation calls were significantly variable in different habitats (one-way ANOVA, P<0.05). Vegetation, climatic and topographical factors were selected by components analysis and the correlation between echolocation calls and these factors were analyzed. The results indicated that although echolocation calls of R. ferrumequinum were all FM/CF/FM in different habitats, the parameters of echolocation calls correlated to variable environmental factors: significant negative correlation existed between FM1 bandwidth and arbor height (r=-0.948, P < 0.05), FM2 bandwidth and arbor height (r=-0.825; P < 0.05), FM1 starting frequency and areas of canopy (r=-0.967, P < 0.05), FM2 termination frequency and areas of canopy (r=-0.958, P < 0.05), FM1 starting frequency and air relative humidity (r=-0.776, P < 0.05), FM2 termination frequency and air relative humidity (r=-0.875, P < 0.05), peak frequency and air relative humidity(r= -0.794, P < 0.05), the pulse duration and average shrub height (r=-0.911, P < 0.05), inter-pulse interval and average shrub height (r=-0.990;P < 0.05), respectively; significant positive correlation between peak frequency and number of plant (r=0.756,P < 0.05), pulse duration and height below the canopy (r=0.870, P < 0.05), respectively. In conclusion, many kinds of ecological factors (such as vegetation factor, climatic and topographical factor) could effect on echolocation calls and made them diverse in different habitats, i.e. echolocation calls of bats had phenotypic flexibility and eco-adaptability. These characteristics determined the degree of habitat used and the natural resources in R. ferrumquinum.
