The bare-backed fruit bat or Moluccan naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia moluccensis) is a fruit bat in the family Pteropodidae.

Taxonomy and etymology

It was described as a new species in 1830 by Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard who placed it in the now-defunct bat genus Hypoderma, with the scientific name H. moluccensis.[1] Its relationship with Dobsonia magna requires further investigation.[2] Its species name "moluccensis" means "belonging to the Moluccas," which is where the species is found.

Description

Its fur is brown and its feet have distinctive white claws. It is smaller than the New Guinea naked-backed fruit bat.[3] Males weigh Шаблон:Cvt while females weigh Шаблон:Cvt. Its ears are pointed, and its second digits lack claws, unlike flying foxes. Its wings attach at the back along the spine rather than along the sides of the body.[4]

Biology and ecology

The bare-backed fruit bat is a seasonal breeder, with the mating season from April to June. Females give birth from mid-August through November.[4] It is found in Indonesia, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. It has been documented from Шаблон:Cvt above sea level.[2]

As of 2016, it is considered a least-concern species by the IUCN.[2]
