“…Unregulated mining activities for limestone and coal near cave systems pose a threat to the caves and the fauna they harbour (Saikia 2018). Expansion of plantations, demand for firewood and deforestation associated with mining activities threaten the survival of bat species as well as all other forest-dwelling species (Ruedi et al 2012a(Ruedi et al , 2014. Hunting of bats for a supplementary source of protein is another threat.…”

In this paper we present an updated checklist of mammals found in Meghalaya. Using online databases and search engines for available literature, we provide the scientific names, accepted English names, conservation status as per IUCN Red List, Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act schedules, appendices in CITES, local distribution status, endemism, last reported sighting, an account of previous studies carried out relative to mammals and a tentative bibliography of the mammalian species found in Meghalaya. A total of 162 species were found to be existing in the state with Chiropterans forming the largest group and 27 species found to be threatened, seven Near Threatened and seven Data Deficient.

“…The observed differences in call parameters could also be due to geographical variation (Bayefsky-Anand et al 2008). Pulses of higher start frequencies and shorter duration are also typical of recordings made by handreleased bats as they try to settle into flight and avoid the recordist in front of them (see Russo & Jones 2002;Ruedi et al 2014). The present records of T. teniotis represent the first record of this species from the western Himalaya and the second record from the Indian Himalaya.…”
