Abstract
We analyzed the winter activity of bat species in urban environment, in the Botanical Garden of the University of Sopron. The investigation period lasted from 18 November 2015 until 29 February 2016. The investigation was carried out with an acoustic detector. During the hibernation period, a total of four bat species have been identified: the common noctule (Nyctalus noctula), the grey long-eared bat (Plecotus austriacus), the savi’s pipistrelle (Hypsugo savii) and the kuhl's pipistrelle (Pipistrellus kuhlii). For all four species detected, activity and leaving of wintering sites during the hibernation period were significantly related to certain weather parameters. In almost all cases, daily mean, maximum and minimum temperature positively affected the winter activity of the detected species, while daily amount of precipitation negatively correlated with the activity of the common noctule and the grey long-eared bat.
