Abstract
Investigations into bat diversity and abundance were carried out in Vilnius in 2005. Ten bat hibernation sites were investigated in the city where six bat species were found: Daubenton's bat (Myotis daubentonii), pond bat (Myotis dasycneme), Brandt.s/whiskered bat (Myotis brandtii/mystacinus), brown long-eared bat (Plecotus auritus), barbastelle bat (Barbastella barbastellus) and northern bat (Eptesicus nilssonii). More than 820 bats roosted in Vilnius: Daubenton.s bats constituted 62.5 %, barbastelle bats – 11.1% and pond bats – 10.7%. Pond bats, Daubenton's bats and barbastelle bats made up the largest known hibernating populations in south-eastern Lithuania. Brandt’s/whiskered bats have been recorded in Vilnius hibernation sites for the first time.
