Mali brkati večernjak - Myotis alcathoe, Alcathoe Whiskered Bat

Abstract

Alcathoe Whiskered Bat was described only relatively recently (2001) so its range is poorly known. It has been recorded in dense deciduous forests with watercourses, which have not been under forestry practice for centuries. Summer roosts were recorded in tree crevices and under bark, while caves are probably used for hibernation. Only a single male was ringed at river Miloševka and there is no recovery record.
