Bat species composition and abundance in two underground hibernaculae in Vilnius before and after fencing
Species composition and abundance of hibernating bats were investigated in Šeškinė bunkers and the Paneriai tunnel in Vilnius (Lithuania). Before fencing the Šeškinė hibernaculum against human disturbance, Barbastelle Bat (Barbastella barbastellus) was abundant but Daubenton's Bat (Myotis daube...
