Abstract

The Hungarian data of Nyctalus lasiopterus are reviewed, taking all published, unpublished data in consideration, including the new results of the authors. The paper summarises the data of 102 individuals of N. lasiopterus and data of occurrences without notes on the numbers of specimens. Data after 1990 are more significant and discussed according to geographic areas of Hungary. Lactating females were mist-netted at five localities, which proved the existence of nursery colonies in Hungary. Most of the specimens were mist-netted in the Mátra Mountains and in the Bükk Mountains, parts of the Northern Hungarian Mountain Range. All captured specimens were mist-netted near small lakes and streams in or near woodlands. These water bodies are important elements of the species’s habitat as drinking places. The known Hungarian population of the species is located to a few points of mountain woodland habitats. Intensive logging in these habitats are threatening the nursery colonies of Nyctalus lasiopterus, resulting the considerable possibility of local extinctions.
