Paper abstract bibtex There were no published data on the bat fauna of Besaparski Ridove Special protection Area (southern Bulgaria); a few records from adjacent territories were published prior to this study. In 2011-2012, we performed a study by visiting roosts, setting up mist nets and using bat detector recording. As a result of 6 mist-netting nights, ultrasound records for 3 h 20 min at 4 places and more than 60 checked abandoned buildings, we found 11 species: Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Myotis blythii, M. cf. mystacinus, Plecotus austriacus, Barbastella barbastellus, Nyctalus noctula, N. leisleri, Hypsugo savii, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus and Miniopterus schreibersii. Four species (Rhinolophus hipposideros, N. noctula, P. pipistrellus and Pipistrellus nathusii) were previously reported from the adjacent towns of Krichim and Pazardzhik. We did not record two of the aforementioned species (R. hipposideros and P. nathusii) but due to their ability to cover long distances and the suitable habitats, we consider them likely to be also present in the protection area. Due to long-term human interventions, the site is severely deforested, which resulted into almost complete loss of natural roosts for forest-dwelling bats. In the area, there are no natural roosts for cave-dwelling species, too. The bats in the site roost mainly in buildings and other man-made constructions.
