Since human colonisation in the mid-15<jats:sup>th<\/jats:sup> century, S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe have lost 74% and 67% of their native habitat, respectively. Today, these islands are mainly covered by remaining old-growth forests, secondary regrowth forests, shaded plantations (mostly of cocoa), oil palm plantations (in the case of S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9), small-scale agricultural areas and urban areas. Yet, little is known about how species on these islands are coping with land-use changes. Island ecosystems are particularly important for bats, with about 25% of the world\u2019s bat species being entirely restricted to island systems. S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe Islands comprise six and four native insectivorous bats, respectively. Two species, <jats:italic>Chaerephon tomensis<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Macronycteris thomensis<\/jats:italic>, are island-endemics in S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9; <jats:italic>Pseudoromicia principis<\/jats:italic> is an island-endemic in Pr\u00edncipe; and <jats:italic>Miniopterus newtoni<\/jats:italic> is endemic from both S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe. Here, we present a dataset comprising a comprehensive compilation of occurrence records derived from acoustic sampling of insectivorous bats across the predominant land-use types of both the S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 and Pr\u00edncipe Islands. In each sampling site, standardised surveys consisted of deploying one Audio Moth device that recorded for 1 minute every 5 minutes over a 48-hour period. We identified a total of 19,437 bat-passes across the 115 sites surveyed in S\u00e3o Tom\u00e9 Island and 17,837 bat-passes across the 50 sites surveyed in Pr\u00edncipe Island.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Based on a sampling effort of 1,584 hours of recordings manually processed to identify all the contained bat passes, this dataset, publicly available on GBIF, provides comprehensive information on the activity of insectivorous bats across two endemic-rich oceanic islands in the Gulf of Guinea. For each bat pass identified, we report the identified species, geographic coordinates, land-use type, altitude, date and time. This is the first public dataset providing detailed information on species-level habitat use for insectivorous bats on oceanic islands in Africa.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/bdj.12.e131955","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]],"date-time":"2024-09-05T09:46:13Z","timestamp":1725529573000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Insectivorous
