Habitat:
This species lives in both primary and somewhat disturbed habitats. It probably roosts in small groups and is known to roost in tree hollows. It is probably not dependent on water and occurs from sea level up to 1,630 m asl. Some births are known to take place in November (Flannery 1995).

Range:
The species is endemic to Indonesia, where it is known from the islands of Halmahera, Batjan, Tidore, and Ternate. Sula, Peleng, and Sangihe island records are erroneous (Bergmans and Rozendaal 1988, K. Helgen pers. comm., Koopman 1993). There is a single record from a Sulawesi market that is dubious, and there are no other records from this island.

Conservation:
There are no conservation measures in place for this species; and it is not known if the species occurs in any protected areas. It is listed on CITES Appendix II.
