For deciphering the biodiversity of native mammals on the island of Martinique (Lesser Antilles), bats (Chiroptera) were netted in various localities during the course of two separate studies spanning 2004–2015. A total of 2613 individuals were caught in ground-level mist nets at 79 localities. In this study, we concentrate on 1859 captures of nine species of bats caught at 24 capture-rich localities. We provide sex-ratio values, forearm and body weight measurements for each taxon. The order of decreasing abundance in captures was  Artibeus jamaicensis ,  Sturnira angeli ,  Brachyphylla cavernarum ,  Monophyllus plethodon ,  Myotis martiniquensis ,  Molossus molossus ,  Ardops nichollsi ,  Pteronotus davyi  and  Tadarida brasiliensis . Our results suggest a strong sex-bias in capture rates, with males much more abundant for  Ardops  and  Monophyllus , whereas females are more abundant for  Molossus ,  Pteronotus  and  Sturnira . A clear sexual dimorphism exists with larger females in  Ardops  and  Pteronotus , whereas males are larger in  Molossus ,  Monophyllus  and  Sturnira . Reproductive females (pregnant, lactating) were found almost exclusively during the dry season (January to June) for  A. jamaicensis ,  M. plethodon  and  S. angeli .

New data on the bats (Chiroptera) of Martinique island (Lesser Antilles), with an emphasis on sexual dimorphism and sex ratios
