The results
of the study of bat groups in anthropogenic landscapes
of the Donbass are presented. The study is a pioneer
for this type of sites and can serve as a starting
point for further monitoring. A total of 15 sites
were surveyed using an ultrasonic detector, which
allowed recording the hunting activity of bats.
The frequency of registrations of bats was insignificant.
Three species were identified, in particular Pipistrellus
kuhlii (149), Eptesicus serotinus (39), and Nyctalus
noctula (6). It is shown that there are actually
only two species—Pipistrellus kuhlii and Eptesicus
serotinus—in the surveyed types of landscapes, which
are synanthropic and are considered alien to the
region’s fauna. |
