| Summary: | (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) In 2008, the use of bat boxes of two models (standard and flat) by Nathusius' pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathusii) bats was investigated in eight protected territories in southeastern Lithuania. In each locality, 18 bat boxes of both models were observed. The groups of three boxes were erected on separate trees. The rate of occupancy of standard boxes by Nathusius' bats was found to be nearly six times higher than that of flat boxes. The absolute majority of bats used both models during the nursery and autumn migration season. Standard boxes were used by Nathusius' pipistrelle, soprano pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus), pond bat (Myotis dasycneme), brown long-eared bat (Plecotus auritus) and noctule (Nyctalus noctula), whereas flat boxes were used only by Nathusius' pipistrelle and pond bat. ... |
