Abstract: In order to explore the night variation of bat species diversity in Xishuangbanna, acoustic monitoring detector was used to probe bat activities, analyzed the variation of bat species diversity in different time at night during a year. The results showed that the distribution of bat species diversity at night was significantly different, except 18:00-20:00 and 20:00-22:00, 22:00-00:00 and 00:00-02:00, 00:00-02:00 and 02:00-04:00. In the seasonal variation, the first peak of bat species diversity in autumn and winter is one hour earlier than that in spring and summer.
