Apart from a comprehensive survey of Taiwan's fauna carried out during the Japanese occupation, and some research carried out by the United States Navy into contagious diseases in Southeast Asia, the only in-depth research into Taiwan's bats has been a research report on behavioral patterns that was produced by the zoological department of National Taiwan University three years ago.
除日據時代有過全島野生動物調查，與五○年代美國海軍在東南亞從事流行病學研究，追蹤過蝙蝠之外，針對台灣蝙蝠較深入的研究，就只有三年前台大動物系對東亞家蝠活動模式的一份研究報告了。
