Abstract

The results of the study of bat groups in anthropogenic landscapes of the Donbass are presented. The study is a pioneer for this type of sites and can serve as a starting point for further monitoring. A total of 15 sites were surveyed using an ultrasonic detector, which allowed recording the hunting activity of bats. The frequency of registrations of bats was insignificant. Three species were identified, in particular Pipistrellus kuhlii (149), Eptesicus serotinus (39), and Nyctalus noctula (6). It is shown that there are actually only two species—Pipistrellus kuhlii and Eptesicus serotinus—in the surveyed types of landscapes, which are synanthropic and are considered alien to the region’s fauna.
