Going further South: new data on the breeding of Nyctalus noctula (Schreber, 1774) in Central Europe
Abstract We collected data on the reproduction of Nyctalus noctula in Hungary by mist-netting and monitoring bat boxes. The capture or observation of juveniles and lactating females were considered evidence of breeding. A total of 1413 N. noctula were mist-netted in four study areas, corresponding t...
