Abstract For studying the response of bat communities to urbanization in an area southern Mediterranean, acoustic and underground roost surveys were carried out around city Constantine. Echolocation calls 10 species recorded, with 6, 7 9 urban, suburban rural areas, respectively. Pipistrellus kuhlii , P . pipistrellus Tadarida teniotis Hypsugo savii, Miniopterus schreibersii Eptesicus isabellinus detected all three types. Myotis capaccinii was recorded only a site crossed by permanent river....
Understanding biodiversity patterns as well drivers of population declines, and range losses provides crucial baselines for monitoring conservation. However, the information needed to evaluate such trends remains unstandardised sparsely available many taxonomic groups habitats, including cave-dwelling bats cave ecosystems. We developed DarkCideS 1.0 ( https://darkcides.org/ ), a global database bat caves species synthesised from publicly datasets. The is by far largest bats, which contains...
We surveyed the bat fauna of Jebel Mghilla National Park (central Tunisia) in five main habitats from lowland to summit: cultivated area, open juniper (Juniperus spp.) forest, Stipa tenacessima steppe, and dense forest Pinus halepensis, with a special emphasis on water bodies. mist-netted three species: Eptesicus isabellinus, Myotis emarginatus punicus. also identified echolocation calls Rhinolophus blasii, ferrumequinum, hipposideros, Tadarida teniotis, Miniopterus schreibersii,...
In order to investigate the likely contact of Mediterranean and Saharan faunas, we surveyed bats in six different habitats Bou Hedma National Park for 1 year. We sampled monthly by mist-netting echolocation call detection at two basins, Bordj Nouh, wadi, open dense acacia forest steppe. identified 13 species, among which Pipistrellus kuhlii, Eptesicus isabellinus, Miniopterus schreibersii were most abundant frequent, followed Tadarida teniotis, Plecotus gaisleri, Rhinopoma cystops...
Taxonomie et répartition des chiroptères de Tunisie.-À partir d'une compilation données publiées, y compris dans la littérature grise, le présent travail fournit une liste actualisée 19 espèces Chiroptères inventoriées en Tunisie ainsi que cartes précises leur géographique.Avec six genres dix famille Vespertilionidae est plus diversifiée devant les Rhinolophidae (un genre, cinq espèces).Hipposideridae, Rhinopomatidae, Molossidae Miniopteridae sont représentés chacune par seule...
Body mass variations of Pipistrellus kuhlii and Eptesicus isabellinus were studied in the Bou Hedma National Park (central Tunisia) from June 2010 to 2011. In both species, adult females significantly heavier than males throughout year. Seasonal larger females, body peaking during late pregnancy. After a secondary peak September–October observed sexes E. isabellinus, only P. kuhlii, reached minimum value winter when activity is low. Significant differences also noticed between years for...
The seasonal activity of the Isabelline serotine bat Eptesicus isabellinus was studied in eight habitats Bou Hedma National Park, central Tunisia. From June 2010 to 2011 two techniques, mist-netting and echolocation call recording, were implemented. This species captured throughout year but only at water bodies particularly Nouh basin. Captures peaked late spring — early summer, declined winter. Pregnant females from April June, lactating May June. Echolocation calls recorded year, not every...
La capture mensuelle des Chiroptères dans six principaux habitats du Parc National de Bou-Hedma sur une période 26 mois a permis d’inventorier sept espèces, assez largement répandues au Maghreb, à l’exception la saharienne Otonycteris hemprichii. Les bassins Bordj et Nouh sont les plus attractifs, surtout début l’été, l’oued est beaucoup moins fréquenté, en hiver. Aucune n’a été réalisée steppe forêts claire dense d’acacias, ce qui confirme l’attractivité plans d’eau pour toutes espèces...
We recorded and analysed sequences belonging to 11 bat species from Northern Algeria, in order compare the baseline results with studies performed across region, where potentially major geographical barriers may have limited gene flow population dynamics. found that most of Rhinolophus exhibit some form variation, especially regarding values maximum energy frequency (CF), while vespertilionides differ mostly pulse start frequency. The shape terminal usually define variation for this family.
Abstract In order to define appropriate conservation measures in northern Tunisia we surveyed the bat fauna of Mastouta-Bishshouk region both roosting sites and foraging areas. A total 11 species was recorded. We found only three occupied roosts including a maternity colony Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Miniopterus schreibersii Myotis cappacinii train abandoned tunnel. tunnel water channel hosted mehelyi , M. punicus . Echolocation calls were recorded at bridge over Beja Wadi, an artificial...
Bat use of the “Bat cave” Jebel Errwa (central Tunisia) was studied over one year. A maximum 650 bats were found during diurnal and nocturnal surveys. Maximum activity at emergence reported in late spring early summer when cave occupied by nurseries Myotis punicus, Rhinolophus euryale, mehelyi Miniopterus schreibersii. Females gave birth May largest, moistest coolest room roost; young started to fly June left August. Despite frequent disturbance visitors, Cave” is most important underground...
Bat fauna in eight of the main habitat types Dghoumes National Park was inventoried using mist-netting, acoustic detection and roost search. Bats were active at night recorded near water bodies street lamps. We echolocation calls six bat species: Eptesicus isabellinus, Pipistrellus kuhlii, Vansonia rueppellii, Asellia tridens, Tadarida teniotis Rhinopoma cystops. Two colonies containing 111 individuals R. cystops found roosting Jebel Morra cave 54 A. tridens ceiling Ecomuseum. Due to...
In Algeria, data on bats are scarce, especially regarding their winter activity. order to increase knowledge of this fauna, we studied the nocturnal behaviour as well habitat use during season 2020–2021 by two bat species, Pipistrellus kuhlii and Tadarida teniotis, using an acoustic survey in five different habitats area located northern southern Bejaia, part Bibans mountain range. There was a significant difference activity levels between types used average passage rates varied...
Increasing aridity usually results in decreasing bat abundance and species richness, the Saharan desert is an example of such impoverishment. Moreover, harsh climatic field conditions this area restrict feasibility surveys. Therefore, fauna Tunisian Sahara was unstudied until expedition conducted May 2021. A total seven were recorded using passive detectors set mainly at water bodies, which concentrate activity. Echolocation calls these did not depart from published records for Mediterranean...
