The Balkan Peninsula is identified as one of the major glacial refugia in Europe during the
Pleistocene, and it has served as a genetic source for post-glacial recolonization for many temperate
species. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity and phylogeographic patterns of the
Mediterranean horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus euryale Blasius 1853, on the Balkan Peninsula. We also
analyzed its demographic history and tested the hypothesis that this region was a glacial refugium for this
species. We collected 82 samples from 20 localities in the Balkans and Italy and sequenced the
mitochondrial D-loop region. Our results revealed low nucleotide but high haplotype diversity, with 20
out of 24 haplotypes reported for the first time. All Balkan and Italian samples belonged to a single
genetic clade in the phylogenetic reconstruction, where they clustered together with previously published
samples from Turkey, southern France and North Africa. The haplotype network had a star-like pattern
that is indicative of recent population expansion. Both mismatch distribution and shallow genetic
differentiation also supported the scenario of a sudden demographic expansion. We estimated that
expansion within this lineage commenced in the Late Pleistocene. We suggest that the Balkan Peninsula
was a glacial refugium for R. euryale.
