Noteworthy records of Myotis myotis and Myotis blythii in Turkey (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
Abstract. Among 38 bat species recorded in Turkey, the greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis) and the lesser mouse-eared bat (Myotis blythii) are the most common. They occur sympatrically in natural and anthropogenic roosts.
The aim of this study is to present the distribution of Myotis myotis and M. blythii in Turkey.
During summer field trips (May–September), altogether 51 Myotis myotis (41 males, 10 females) and 41 M. blythii (33 males, 8 females) specimens were captured by mist net, aerial trap, and hand net in 2004–2008.
