Schreiber's Bent-winged bat, Miniopterus schreibersii (Kuhl, 1817), has a Mediterranean
distribution and is one of the most common cave-dwelling bat species in Serbia. It is highly
gregarious, forming large nursery and huge hibernation colonies, comprising of few hundred
to several tens of thousands of individuals (extreme up to 80000). It is considered to be a
regional vagrant, commuting on average 40-100 km between summer and winter roosts, and
philopatric to their nursery roosts. Population in Serbia is estimated at least about 150000
individuals, has a stable population trend and has been recorded on more than 75 sites. M.
schreibersii has been ringed regularly in Serbia since 1955. During this 60 years period, we
gathered some interesting data on the migration patterns, distances crossed and life
expectancy in this species. A total of 2982 animals were ringed and 154 of them were
recaptured. The oldest animal recaptured has carried its ring for more than 11 years, and few
others for eight years at the moment. The longest movement recorded was 216 km, between
Petrovaradin fortress (Novi Sad) and Puhovac village (Aleksandrovac) within only four days.
Eleven more recaptures were over 100 km. We had five trans-boundary recaptures: two from
Bulgaria (Ravanička pećina – Vidin, 110 km; Vernjikica cave – Vidin, 75.2 km); two from
Bosnia and Herzegovina (Petrovaradin fortress – Dardagani quarry, Zvornik, 110 km) and
one from Romania (Vršac quarry – mine shaft near Sasca Montana, 43.8 km). Ringing
program in Serbia will be continued and we expect to gather more interesting data on
movements and roost utilization of this and other bat species in the future.
