Sažetak
This study was conducted on the Croatian part of the Dinara Mountain, which is part of the Dinaric Alps mountain range that extends from the Julian Alps in Slovenia to the Prokletije Mountains in Albania. The main goal of this study was to collect more data on bat species around its highest peaks. The research was part of an international inventory project „Dinara 2012“ organized by BIUS- Biology Student Association. During July 2012 more than 10 underground sites were visited in search of bat summer colonies or potential winter hibernacula locations. During August 2012 bat research was carried out mainly on roads and paths within forests, forest edges and meadows in search for potential corridors and foraging areas, or as an exit to open habitats. This study confirmed seven bat species that have already been recorded for this area (Miniopterus schreibersii, Myotis blythii, M. capaccinii, M. myotis, Rhinolophus blasii, R. euryale, R. hipposideros). Five species recorded during this survey are new records for the Dinara Mountain (M. mystacinus, M. nattereri, Nyctalus leisleri, N. noctula, P. auritus). Now, the bat list for the Dinara Mountain range is complemented and the total number of bat species is 15 (M. schreibersii, M. blythii, M. capaccinii, M. emarginatus, M. mystacinus, M. myotis, M. nattereri, Nycta-lus leisleri, N. noctula, P. nathusii P. auritus, R. blasii, R. euryale, R. ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros). Since this is a very large and complex area more extensive research of this area would provide much better information on the species present, their activity and distribution.
