Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Flores Tube-nosed Bat almost always roosts alone, with more than 80 % of Australian roosts occupied by one individual. It can be found in small groups of up to a dozen individuals. It switches roosts often and will stay at the same roost for up to four days before moving to a new roost from a few meters to 1 km away. It might return to the same roost after a few days. It is found at low densities (20 - 30 ind / km?).

Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Flores Tube-nosed Bat is widespread but generally uncommon. In New Guinea, only eight specimens were collected between 1959 and 1990, and it was first discovered in Australia in the early 1980 s. It does not currently face any major threats, but it might be locally threatened in Sulawesi by forest clearing and agroforestry. The Flores Tube-nosed Bat is poorly known, and additional studies on its ecology and threats are needed.
