Southeast Asia includes several global biodiversity hotspots and bats account for nearly one-third of mammal species currently known in the region. While acoustic methods have become widespread in bat research, basic information is often lacking on the echolocation calls produced by Asian bat species. Since such information can aid a wide variety of research and conservation initiatives, descriptions of the calls emitted by Asian bats are fundamental. The aim of our study was to provide a standardized analysis and description of the Vietnamese bat echolocation calls. We analyzed call recordings of 87 species arranged in eight families. This constitutes 74% of the echolocating bats presently known in Vietnam and includes the first call descriptions for five taxa. Our use of an open-source software and the deposition of recordings in the ChiroVox repository will facilitate comparative studies in Asia and the information we provide represents one of the most comprehensive bioacoustic databases for Asian bats to date.
东南亚包括几个全球生物多样性热点地区，蝙蝠占该地区目前已知哺乳动物物种的近三分之一。虽然声学方法在蝙蝠研究中已经广泛应用，但亚洲蝙蝠物种发出的回声定位叫声的基本信息通常缺乏。由于这些信息可以帮助各种各样的研究和保护工作，因此对亚洲蝙蝠发出的叫声的描述是基本的。我们研究的目的是为越南蝙蝠的回声定位叫声提供标准化的分析和描述。我们分析了 8 个科的 87 种蝙蝠的叫声记录。这构成了越南目前已知的回声定位蝙蝠的 74%，包括对 5 个分类群的首次叫声描述。我们使用开源软件，并将录音存入 ChiroVox 存储库，这将促进亚洲的比较研究，我们提供的信息是迄今为止亚洲蝙蝠最全面的生物声学数据库之一。
