: To avoid animal disturbance, this study used dropped guano from beneath bat roosting sites/colonies in Korea without capturing or interfering with the roosting bats. Additionally, the bat guano was collected by an expert from the Korean Institute of Biospeleology during the cave investigation period. This sampling design did not require ethical approval for the study, and therefore, none was obtained. The authors confirm that the ethical policies of the journal, as noted on the journal’s author guidelines page, have been adhered to.
