The article presents information on the species composition and ecological features of bats within the Velykyi Luh National Nature Park. The presence of 11 species of bats, among which Nyctalus noctula and Pipistrellus pipistrellus predominate, was established. The habitats and seasonal dynamics of activity of the identified species are analysed. Particular attention is paid to the role of the Park as a key area for the conservation of bat diversity in the region. The results of the study show the need to strengthen measures for the conservation of bat populations in the Park. |
