Abstract

Reports on distribution and abundance of bats from Iran exist since mid-nineteen century, but studies on this subject are very scarce and have been conducted very infrequently by European biologists who visited Iran occasionally. Until now, six caves have been investigated and eight species of cave-dwelling bats have been reported from Ilam province in south-western Iran. The present paper has also summarized additional information on 39 distribution records of 11 species in this province. In this study we visited a total of 28 caves, 23 of which contained at least one species of bat. Species recorded in the present study include Rhinopoma microphyllum, R. hardwickii and R. muscatellum from family Rhinopomatidae, Asellia tridens from family Hipposideridae, Myotis blythii, M. emarginatus from family Vespertilionidae, Miniopterus pallidus from family Miniopteridae, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, R. euryale and R. blasii from family Rhinolophidae. M. blythii with 11 distribution records is the most widely distributed species and Khofash cave with four species and about 30,000 bats is the most crowded roost in the study area.
伊朗高原西部和西南部伊拉姆省海绵状蝙蝠区系分布
自19世纪中期以来,就有关于伊朗蝙蝠分布和数量的报告,但对这一主题的研究非常少,而且很少由偶尔访问伊朗的欧洲生物学家进行。到目前为止,已经对伊朗西南部伊拉姆省的6个洞穴进行了调查,并报告了8种穴居蝙蝠。本文还总结了本省11种39份分布记录的补充资料。在这项研究中,我们总共参观了28个洞穴,其中23个洞穴中至少有一种蝙蝠。本研究记录的种类有:鼻蝽科的小叶鼻蝽、硬背鼻蝽和白颈鼻蝽,鼻蝽科的三头无尾鼻蝽,小翅蝽科的白斑小翅蝽,小翅蝽科的白斑小翅蝽,铁甲鼻蝽,大翅蝽,灰尾鼻蝽和白尾鼻蝽。布氏蝠分布最广,有11个分布记录;Khofash洞穴有4种蝙蝠和约3万只蝙蝠,是研究区最拥挤的栖息地。
