Abstract

The distribution of twelve resident species of bats in Croatia listed in Appendix II of the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC was mapped in 10 km squares of the UTM projection grid: Rhinolophus blasii, R. euryale, R. ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, Myotis bechsteinii, M. blythii, M. capaccinii, M. dasycneme, M. emarginatus, M. myotis, Barbastella barbastellus and Miniopterus schreibersii. A list of localities is provided with dates and references. A total of 828 UTM squares are connected with the land area of Croatia, of which 249 (= 30%) have records of bats. A total of 105 UTM squares have only one of the twelve species (42%), 103 squares have between two and four species (41%), 36 UTM squares have five to eight (14%) and only 5 UTM squares have nine species (2%). The number of localities varies between 2 (Myotis dasycneme) and 229 (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum). Depending on the species, these localities cover between 2 and 144 UTM squares (0.2%–17.3% of all 10 km squares of Croatia) with a central quartile range between 21 and 69 squares (2.5–8.3%).
