Dobsonia moluccensis taxidermied specimen at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova in Genoa, Italy
The bare-backed fruit bat or Moluccan naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia moluccensis ) is a fruit bat in the family Pteropodidae .
Taxonomy and etymology
[ edit ]
It was described as a new species in 1830 by Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard who placed it in the now-defunct bat genus Hypoderma , with the scientific name H. moluccensis .[2] Its relationship with Dobsonia magna requires further investigation.[1] Its species name "moluccensis " means "belonging to the Moluccas ," which is where the species is found.
Description
[ edit ]
Its fur is brown and its feet have distinctive white claws. It is smaller than the New Guinea naked-backed fruit bat .[3] Males weigh 380–500 g (0.84–1.10 lb ) while females weigh 325–525 g (0.717–1.157 lb ). Its ears are pointed, and its second digits lack claws, unlike flying foxes . Its wings attach at the back along the spine rather than along the sides of the body.[4]
Biology and ecology
[ edit ]
The bare-backed fruit bat is a seasonal breeder , with the mating season from April to June. Females give birth from mid-August through November.[4] It is found in Indonesia , East Timor , Papua New Guinea , and Australia . It has been documented from 0–2,700 m (0–8,858 ft ) above sea level.[1]
As of 2016, it is considered a least-concern species by the IUCN .[1]
