DIET COMPOSITION, PREY AVAILABILITY AND FORAGING ACTIVITY OF PIPISTRELLUS PYGMAEUS IN A FLOODPLAIN FOREST
Original language description
In 2004 bat droppings were collected under the emerging crevice of a nursery colony of Pipistrellus pygmaeus. Prey availability and foraging activity of bats were studied using an aerial insect trap and bat-detectors installed in two different foraging sites (water and edge of forest). The localities were situated in a floodplain forest (S Moravia, Czech Republic). In total, 12 samples (20 pellets in each sample) of droppings and 66 samples from aerial trap were used to analyze prey composition and itsavailability. In the diet, 11 000 individuals of 28 taxonomic groups were found. As expected, small dipteran insects were the main food item in which Nematocera dominated. Further Chironomidae and Cecidomyiidae were available in high percentage. Lepidoptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera and Sternorrhyncha were recorded in pellets more often than in aerial trap samples.
