Description Of chiropterans, 21 species (87,5 % of the total number of bats in the Czech Republic) have been recorded in the extended Pálava BR. Breeding was demonstrated for 10 species and is probable in further species except in Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, which has been found only once. Compared to other regions, the Pálava BR harbours relatively large population of R. hipposideros and Myotis emarginatus, the former showing an increasing trendin development of its number. The recently recognised cryptic species, Pipistrellus pygmaeus (syn. P. mediterraneus) is among the most abundant species in the study area.
