Abstract

Targeted studies of bats in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug-Yugra revealed six species of bats. Animals of this group are spread throughout the region not-evenly, the populations are rarer. Low reproductive capacity and the number associated with living on the border of habitats in Yugra contributed to the inclusion of all species of bats in the regional Red Book. In this article, along with known data, the authors present modern information on the distribution of bats in the territory of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug. Possible causes of local distribution of species are discussed. The largest species diversity is characteristic of the southern and southwestern part of the region, which is due to the proximity of possible winter sites in the caves of the Northern Ural. In the central and northern part of Yugra there are only ecologically flexible species - the Northern bat and Parti-colored bat.
