2008年5月在江苏省采到8只蝙蝠,经鉴定为皮氏菊头蝠(Rhinolophus pearsoni),为该省翼手目新纪录,这意味着我国大陆秦岭淮河以南地区均有该物种分布。江苏样本比文献记载的其他地区样本体重稍轻,体型略小,但回声定位声波主频率略高,符合菊头蝠主频率与体型大小成负相关的普遍规律。
Eight bats identified as Rhinolophus pearsoni were collected at Jiangsu Province in May, 2008.As a new record in Jiangsu, it means that R. pearsoni distribute all south provinces in mainland China. Body size and mass of specimens in Jiangsu Province are slightly smaller than those in other regions while dominant frequency of echolocation calls is opposite, which does not reject the hypothesis that there are inverse correlation between dominant frequency and body size in horseshoe bats.
