The importance of small cellars to bat hibernation in Poland
Inspections of 521 small cellars inhabited by bats in Poland revealed the occurrence of 10 species: Myotis myotis, M. nattereri, M, brandtii, M. dasycneme, M. daubentonii, Eptesicus nilssonii, E. serotinus, Plecotus auritus, P. austriacus , and Barbastella barbastellus . P. auritus was the most freq...
