Contribución al conocimiento de la distribución de los Murciélagos (O. Chiroptera) en Galicia

Abstract

This paper provides 755 new records of bats from Galicia belonging to a total of 22 species. These results are primarily from surveys conducted between 2007-2010, covering a total of 145 UTM 10x10 k grid cells. The utilization for the first time in Galicia of three complementary methodologies has allowed to go deeply into the knowledge of discrete species and, generally, to extend the known range of most of the species in Galicia. Furthermore, Myotis alcathoe, Myotis escalerai, Myotis spA and Nyctalus lasiopterus are recorded for the first time. It also provides data on different aspects of their biology and recommendations for the conservation of some species.
