Description:

Habitat destruction and fragmentation caused by modern forestry and agriculture are some of the main problems for the long-term survival of many species. In this study, a bat community of 11 species was investigated with the objective to evaluate the impacts of patch size, distance between habitat patches and habitat quality on species number, and also to investigate the use of corridors. Habitat islands, varying in size from 0.1 to 98.7 ha, in an agriculture-dominated landscape were surveyed. Habitat use by four species: Myotis brandti (Eversmann, 1845), M. nattereri (Khul, 1818), Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Schreber, 1774), and Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus, 1758), was recorded in detail.
