Project Update: December 2009

During our four mark recapture mission we have captured 1302 individuals of Rousettus madagascariensis in four cave roosts of the District of Anosibe An’Ala. Our last capture session was in October and November 2009. 139 bats were recaptured in the same roosts and 24 moved to other roosts. I summarize in the table below our preliminary collected data.
