Abstract

The bat fauna of the Adriatic islands is relatively poorly known. Seven species were documented so far on the remote Adriatic islands of Vis and Biševo (Croatia). This study aims to increase knowledge on the bat communities on these islands. Bat echolocations were recorded between 30 April and 11 May 2018 at seven sites showing bat presence. Calls were identified to genus and species level where possible, which confirmed the presence of eight bat taxa on the islands. Three taxa were observed for the first time: Tadarida teniotis, Myotis sp. and Nyctalus sp. Results of this study increase the number of documented bat taxa on Vis from seven to ten and on Biševo from one to six. This study highlights the importance and benefits of utilizing passive acoustic devices at remote locations. Our findings suggest that bat communities and diversity might also be understudied on other islands in the Mediterranean, which could have important implications for bat conservation.

亚得里亚海维斯和比什埃沃群岛的蝙蝠新物种和记录（克罗地亚）

亚得里亚海群岛的蝙蝠动物群相对来说鲜为人知。迄今为止，在遥远的亚得里亚海岛屿Vis和Biševo(克罗地亚)上记录了七个物种。这项研究旨在增加对这些岛屿上蝙蝠群落的了解。2018年4月30日至5月11日期间，在七个显示有蝙蝠存在的地点记录了蝙蝠的回声定位。在可能的情况下，将叫声识别到属和种的水平，证实了岛上存在8个蝙蝠分类群。本研究的结果使Vis上记录到的蝙蝠类群从7个增加到10个，Biševo上记录到的蝙蝠类群从1个增加到6个。这项研究强调了在偏远地区使用被动声学设备的重要性和好处。我们的研究结果表明，在地中海的其他岛屿上，蝙蝠群落和多样性可能也没有得到充分的研究，这可能对蝙蝠的保护具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
