A complete list of bat records available from the Socotra Archipelago was compiled from the literature and from new records, based on field studies and examination of museum specimens. The record reviews of the particular species are complemented with distribution maps, summaries of distributional status, notes on field data and on taxonomic status...

Reproductive cycle of Rousettus aegyptiacus has been intensively studied in the years 2005 –2012. We analyzed the data from two regions corresponding to two types of environment (biomes): the zone of continuous distribution in the Levant (Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Jordan – 1285 individuals, 429 adult females) and an isolated population of R. aegypti...
The isolation of populations in the Iberian, the Italian and the Balkan peninsulas during the ice ages define
four main paradigms that explain the distribution of intraspecific genetic diversity in Europe, though not without exceptions. In this study we investigated the phylogeography of a wide-spread bat species, the bent-winged bat,Miniopterus sc...
systematics of Old World serotine bats (genus Eptesicus, Vespertilionidae, Chiroptera): an integrative approach. —Zoologica Scripta, 42, 441–457. Integrative taxonomy aims to document biodiversity by incorporating all useful characters to increase confidence in hypotheses about phylogenetic relationships. In this study, we combine data obtained ind...
Na základě výzkumu biologie kaloně egyptského v letech 2009–2012 v oblasti západní Palearktidy byl shromážděn rozsáhlý datový aparát umožňující zhodnocení geografické a vnitropopulační variability parazitace kaloňů muchulemi druhu Eucampsipoda aegyptia, který je jediným druhem čeled Nycteribiidae vyskytujícím se na kaloních egyptských v této oblast...
Na základě dat shromážděných v souvislosti s detailním výzkumem biologie východomediteránních populací kaloně egyptského v letech 2005–2012 byla provedena analýza rozsáhlého souboru dat o jeho reprodukčním cyklu. Souhrnně byla analyzována data ze dvou oblastí odpovídajících dvěma výrazně odlišným typům prostředí (na úrovni biomů) a chorologické pat...
The Mediterranean population of Rousettus aegyptiacus represent the only off-shot of the chiropteran family Pteropodidae beyond limits of tropes. We summarized all distributional data and revised its current status in most regions of its Mediterranean range with particular respect to the situation along the range margins in the region. Distribution...
We present a study of the Pipistrellus pipistrellus species complex, a bat group from a very speciose genus, radiated into the mosaic of lineages in different stages of diversification and secondary contacts in the rugged environment of the Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot. We use fast-evolving markers (mitochondrial D-loop sequence and 11 nuclea...
Europe is probably the continent in which the glacial phylogeography of species have been investigated the most thoroughly. Until now, three main refugia have been identified in Europe, one in the Iberian Peninsula, one in Italy and the third one in the Balkans. In this study, we investigated the phylogeographic history of Miniopterus schreibersii...

... The only endemic mammals in Socotra can be found among the insectivores-four bat species are present, of which one endemic species (Hypsugo lanzai) and one endemic subspecies (Rhinolophus clivosus ssp. socotranus), only recently described (Benda et al., 2017). A potential population of one more mammal species, the Egyptian Fruit Bat (Rousettus egyptiacus) went locally extinct; a large fossil specimen was found embedded in a stalagmite in a cave in Socotra Island and radiocarbon-dated to c. 7500 a BP . ...

... Rhinopoma cystops -Egyptian Mouse-tailed Bat (Thomas 1903) Distribution: Forbes (1903) reported this bat as Rhinopoma microphyllum from Hadibu in Socotra. Benda et al. (2017) recorded this species from 32 sites in Socotra. ...

... The dimensions of the NMP specimens of R. clivosus from Zambia are shown in Table 4. This bat is considered a polyphyletic species, although this matter has not yet been resolved definitely (see Csorba et al. 2003, Stoffberg et al. 2012, Bernard & Happold 2013, Benda et al. 2017, Demos et al. 2019a, Monadjem et al. 2020a. Three groups of populations being worthy of possible species status were suggested to occur within the distribution range of this bat, from the Middle East in the north and southern Africa in the south (Benda et al. 2017). ...

... Besides harming R. aegyptiacus, such non-selective actions also seriously affected other non-target insectivorous bats roosting at the same sites (Hadjisterkotis 2006 (2006), the conservation status of R. aegyptiacus is classified as "not applicable" because of the species' marginal occurrence in Europe, whereas on a global scale this bat is regarded as a "least concern" taxon. The Mediterranean populations have special conservation and biogeographycal value: according to Horáček et al. (2010), they should be regarded as a separate, endemic species because of a 10% mtDNA divergence from sub-Saharan populations. Despite, as we have seen, the IUCN large-scale assessment defines R. aegyptiacus a "least concern" taxon whose global population is stable, the current situation of this bat on Cyprus is seriously worrying. ...

... rada belirtilmesi gereken önemli bir nokta, diğer buzul sığınaklarda olduğu gibi, Avrupa'nın biyolojik çeşitliliğinin şekillenmesi açısından Anadolu'nun buzul sığınak rolünün daha iyi anlaşılması gerektiğidir. Bu tür çalışmalar, son yıllarda yaygınlaşmaktadır (örneğin, Rokas vd. 2003;Koch vd. 2006;Ansell vd. 2011;Korkmaz vd. 2014;Perktaş vd. 2015a;Bilgin vd. 2016 Rakımsal hareketler, özellikle dağ türlerinin coğrafi dağılımlarının buzul dönemlerde düşük rakımlara, buzullararası dönemlerde ise yüksek rakımlara doğru değişmesini ifade eder (Bennett and Provan 2008;Stewart vd. 2010). ...
