Abstract

Abstract. We studied the occupation of crevice-type roosting boxes developed especially for barbastelle bats Barbastella barbastellus (Schreber, 1774). Some 290 of the boxes were installed (in groups of five) in six study areas located in Poland in forests of different tree species composition. Colonization of boxes took place in the first summer season after installation. Two years after installation, a high rate of occupancy was recorded (up to 100 % groups of boxes, depending on the area). The total number of bats involved was 478, 72 % of which was the target species. Occupancy rates were highest in oak stands and lowest in those dominated by Scots pine. In all but one of the study areas, barbastelles founded colonies (and in part at least breeding colonies) in the boxes of this type. The overall ratio of the number of barbastelle colonies to the observation of individuals/small groups is 32.4 % to 67.6 %, respectively. The use of such boxes thus provides the active protection of the bat in question, and the effective study of its populations.
林栖西部斑蝠对缝隙型巢箱的占领(翼翅目:斑蝠科)
摘要我们研究了专门为Barbastella barbastellus (Schreber, 1774)开发的缝隙式栖息箱的占用情况。大约290个盒子(五组一组)安装在波兰不同树种组成的森林中的六个研究区域。盒子的殖民化发生在安装后的第一个夏季。安装两年后,记录了很高的入住率(根据区域的不同,高达100%的盒子组)。涉及的蝙蝠总数为478只,其中72%是目标物种。橡树林的入住率最高,以苏格兰松为主的入住率最低。在除一个研究区域外的所有地区,barbastelles都在这种类型的箱子中建立了殖民地(至少部分是繁殖殖民地)。观察到的个体/小群体数量与barbastelle菌落总数的比例分别为32.4%和67.6%。因此,使用这种盒子为所讨论的蝙蝠提供了积极的保护,并对其种群进行了有效的研究。
