Habitat:
This species ranges through low to mid elevation forests, where it has been recorded in both primary and secondary habitat. Populations are also present in the mosaic habitats of tropical moist forest with woodland and grassland (Bergmans 1989). It is an adaptable species that can be found in disturbed areas, seemingly being only absent from heavily degraded or urban areas. The species roosts as small groups, often close to water (Brosset 1966, Jones 1972).
Range:
This widespread species is present in parts of West Africa and most of Central Africa, with some records from East Africa. It occurs from southeastern Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana in the west, to Cameroon, and then through Central Africa to southern Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania in the east. It has been recorded as far south as northern Angola, southern Democratic Republic of the Congo and northeastern Zambia.
Conservation:
It is present in many protected areas. No direct conservation measures are currently needed for this adaptable species as a whole.
