Monitoring of bat hibernation colonies in ten caves in Serbia in February 2019
European bat species feed exclusively on insects, and due to lack of prey during the cold months of the year, many species spend the winter hibernating within the underground roosts. During the regular monitoring scheme, from February 15th to February 17th, 2019, ten speleological objects in Eastern...
