Madagascar , W coastal and Central High Plateau; also on Nosy Be.	Head-body 190- 215 mm , tail 14-22 mm , ear 33-37 mm , hindfoot 39-40 mm , forearm 117- 5-134 mm ; weight 285-300 g . Females are typically smaller and lighter than males. The Madagascan Straw-colored Fruit Bat has brownish dorsum, tawny olive venter, and bright orange-brown collar. Muzzle is nearly hairless and elongated, rhinarium is prominent, and nostrils are flush with long slender rostrum. Eyes are large; irises are raw umber. Ears are hairless posteriorly, with fur at their bases and elongated ovals and dark brown auricles, and antitragus is obsolete. Face is mostly hairless, with some short soft dark brown hairs around eyes extending onto rostrum. Short straw-colored pelage covers head and extends onto nape and dorsum. Adults usually have brown to deep tawny collar that is brighter and more pronounced in males. Throat, chest, and belly are fully haired, with same deep tawny pelage. Pelage extends over upper arm and slightly onto forearm and uppersurface of legs and uropatagium but not onto wing membrane. Uropatagium is split and extends partially off each leg; calcaris short and slightly haired dorsally. Tail is short, with 2-2-5 vertebrae protruding. Wings are long, pointed, somewhat narrow, and dark blackish brown. At rest, ends of wings are folded back, with tips folded in. Second phalanges of third and fourth digits lie flat against lower surface of wing. Wings extend from sides of dorsum close to spine and from back offirst toe. Second digit is clawed. Wing membranes extend from sides of dorsum and back of first toe. Metacarpal and first phalanx of first digit are within wing membrane. Skull has elongated rostrum, and nasals extend past canines while premaxillae do not. Premaxillae have distinct space between I? and C! when laterally viewed. Cranial foramina are larger than the African Straw-colored Fruit Bat ( E. helvum ), lacrimal foramen is deep, and infraorbital foramen is large. Foramen magnum is relatively wide. Braincase is less domed laterally and slightly more constricted posteriorly. Postorbital process extends from frontal but is not connected to jugal. Ectotympanic is produced laterally as short tube, which is distinctive of this genus. Palate broadens posteriorly and is widest between M* to M?, it then narrows at posterior border to width about equal to that between lingual edges of P4 to P4. Front of orbit is located above middle to posterior part of M'. On mandible, posterior margin between condyle and angle is practically straight, and angle is rounded. Ten palatal ridges are present: four anterior, three middle, and three posterior. Teeth are without special modifications, and no secondary cusps appear in canines or cheekteeth. Upper incisors are small, rounded, and subequalin size. Lower incisors are similar to uppers and usually in contact with each other and with canines. Molars contain a longitudinal median groove separating higher outer and lower inner ridge. All post-canine teeth are slightly separated. On following pages: 97.

The Madagascan Straw-colored Fruit Bat is rare or absent from forests without rocky outcrops used for roosting and survives in highly modified landscapes with minimal native vegetation.	Fruits of native and introduced plants are main dietary components of Madagascan Straw-colored Fruit Bats, but they also eat leaves and other plant parts. They appear to prefer native vegetation to introduced plants. It is known to eat 13 different types of fruits from 13 plant species in ten families, including Polyscias ( Araliaceae ), llex ( Aquifoliaceae ), Ficus ( Moraceae ), Passiflora ( Passifloraceae ), Anthocleista ( Gentianaceae ), Cassinopsis ( Icacinaceae ), Allophylus ( Sapindaceae ), Rubus ( Rosaceae ), Solanum ( Solanaceae ), and Psidium ( Myrtaceae ). Pollen of 23 different taxonomic categories of flowersis used, principally baobabs ( Adansonia suarezensis and A. grandidieri) and kapok trees ( Ceiba pentandra), all Malvaceae . Madagascan Strawcolored Fruit Bats might be key pollinators of these endangered trees.	No information.	Madagascan Straw-colored Fruit Bats are nocturnal. They are known to aggregate in small colonies occasionally in tree foliage, but they are more often found in rock fissures and caves. They prefer high and long caves, with good buffering capacity for temperature and humidity. Individuals navigate in and out of roost cave structures, with an incipient form of echolocation based on clicks (peak frequencies of 11-3-16-2 kHz and durations of 0-16-0-3 milliseconds), emitted while leaving a cave in complete darkness.	The Madagascan Straw-colored Fruit Bat might be migratory because of regular variation in occupancy and abundance of roosts. Colonies rarely reach more than 1000 individuals.	Classified as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. The Madagascan Straw-colored Fruit Bat is estimated to have undergone a population decline exceeding 30% over the past 20 years, mainly from extreme pressure from hunting, causing it to abandon roosts, with known examples of local extirpation of roosts sites. It is found along the coast and on the central high plateau; areas lacking records most likely reflect inadequate surveying efforts rather than true absence. It occurs in some protected areas; e.g., Isalo and Tsingy de Namoroka national parks and Ankarana and Cape Sainte Marie special reserves.

These threats are expected to continue.	This bat is usually found roosting in rock fissures and caves (MacKinnon et al. 2003) although it may also roost in tree foliage. In the Ankarana National Park it often roosted in high points near the large entrances of long caves with a high buffering capacity for temperature and relative humidity (Cardiff 2006). The species' patchy distribution, which includes humid, dry deciduous and spiny forest, is probably related to the availability of suitable roost sites and E. dupreanum is rare or absent from a number of forests without rocky outcrops (Goodman et al. 2005, Schmid and Alonso 2005, Jenkins et al. 2007). Although it continues to survive in highly modified landscapes with very little native vegetation remaining (Ratrimomanarivo 2007), it appears to use native forest vegetation for food in preference to introduced plants (Picot et al. 2007). Fruit is the main dietary component but it also eats leaves and other plant parts (Picot 2005, Picot et al. 2007). Through the ingestion of nectar and small seeds, a significant role in pollination and seed dispersal is inferred (Picot et al. 2007, Ratrimomanarivo 2007). Plants are often found growing out of the faeces beneath rock crevices occupied by E. dupreanum (P.A. Racey, unpublished), which is also an important pollinator of threatened baobab trees (Baum 1995, Andriafidison et al. 2006). MacKinnon et al. (2003) suggested that E. dupreanum might be migratory (like its congener in Africa, Richter and Cumming, 2008) because of regular variation in the occupancy and abundance of roosts. Antibodies to Nipah, Hendra, and Lagos Bat viruses, and isolates of other viruses were detected in E. dupreanum at several sites in Madasgascar (Iehlé et al. 2007, Razafindratsimandresy et al. 2009, Reynes et al. 2011). Additional research is needed on natural history and in particular roosting ecology and movements.	This species is hunted for bushmeat across its range both at roosting and foraging sites (Jenkins and Racey 2008, Randrianandrianina et al. 2010). Four out of nine Eidolon dupreanum roost sites in and around the Parc National d'Ankarana showed evidence of hunting (Cardiff et al. 2009). It is classed as a game species under Malagasy law and although it can only be legally hunted between May and August (Durbin 2007), this legislation is widely ignored and the bats are hunted throughout the year. Its roosts tend to be well protected from bushfires and it is able to survive in landscapes with severely depleted natural food supplies as long as alternative plants are available (Ratrimomanarivo 2007). Since forest loss affects food availability (Picot et al. 2007) and may affect accessibility of roosts for hunting (Cardiff et al. 2009), deforestation and hunting are the main threats. Hunting accounted for a 30% desertion rate from 60 roosts (MacKinnon et al. 2003). Although hunters report that deserted roosts are recolonized after a few years, there are several confirmed examples where this species has been extirpated at roost sites (MacKinnon et al. 2003).	The species' global population is suspected to have declined by 30% over the last three generations (generation length = 6 years; Pacifici et al . 2013) due to intense hunting, and the disturbance and loss of important roost sites. Estimates of colony size are difficult to obtain because the bats are often difficult to observe in their day roosts, but is usually in the range of 10–500 bats, with a median of 200 individuals (MacKinnon et al. 2003). The maximum roost count of 1,400 is from Parc National d’Ankarana, in and around which the bats roosted in groups averaging 370 individuals in at least nine different roosts (Cardiff et al. 2009).	Decreasing	This species is endemic to the island of Madagascar where it is widespread, albeit with a patchy distribution (MacKinnon et al. 2003). It is found in coastal areas and on the central high plateau, although absence of records probably reflects inadequate survey coverage rather than a genuine absence. There are some areas within its range where the lack of suitable rock formations means there are no roosting opportunities (Goodman et al. 2005).	This species is intensively hunted for bushmeat.	Terrestrial	This species is known from a number of protected areas (Goodman et al. 2005) including, Parcs National d’Isalo, Namoroka, Ankarana and Tsingy de Bemaraha, and Réserve Spéciale de Cap Sainte Marie, however, hunting has been reported from within the Parc National d’Ankarana (Cardiff et al. 2009). Roosts that are located in inaccessible rock outcrops, in caves with high entrances, or sites that are further from accessible savannah appear to be relatively protected (Cardiff et al. 2009). Cave roosts are probably subject to highest hunting pressure and conservation measures should be focused at these sites.	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
