A summer survey of cave-dwelling bats in the southern Ticino canton (Switzerland)
Abstract During the summer 2002-2003, mist-netting at seven cave entrances enabled a survey of cave-dwelling bats in the southern Ticino Canton (Switzerland). Overall, 36 individuals belonging to 7 species were recorded: Rhinolophus errumequinum , Hypsugo savii , Plecotus austriacus , P. auritus , M...
