NUTRlTlONAL HABITS OF THE NOCTULE BAT NYCTALUS NOCTULA (SCHREBER, 17i4) IN SWITZERLAND MYOTIS
Abst rac t : During one season (from April to November 1989) faecal pellets of the Noc-tule bat Nyctalus noctula were collected in three roosts in buildings in villages. At seven roosts in trees in the town of Zürich, Noctule bats were caught every two weeks from April to November and faecal pellets...

Trichoptera) are rare, the larger insects are also hunted by the Noctule bat, a fact that points to an opportunistic hunting strategy. BAND 32-33 Text Nyctalus noctula Unknown |
