The species is found in lowland rainforests of Equatorial Africa. It has been recorded roosting in vegetation. There is little information currently available on the natural history of this species. It is not known if the species can persist in degraded, or secondary, forest habitats. Females are highly philopatric, whereas males are more prone to disperse. In addition, the Congo River and other large rivers constitute strong biogeographic barriers for females. Flying over large rivers is probably too risky for females of this small bat species (Hassanin et al. 2015).	Threats to this species are currently unknown.	This species is a rarely recorded in western Equatorial Africa, but it seems to be more common (at least locally) in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Based on mitochondrial divergence, two different subspecies have been described: Scotonycteris bergmansi bergmansi in western Equatorial Africa (at elast in southern CAR, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea), and Scotonycteris bergmansi congoensis in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.	Unknown	This species occurs in Equatorial Africa, where it is known from the rainforests of Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Republic of the Congo, southern Central African Republic, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.		Terrestrial	This species is undoubtedly present in the Campo Ma'an National Park, a protected area located near the type locality. Further studies are needed to better understand the distribution, natural history and threats of this species.	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
