Reliability of field determination in three cryptic whiskered bats (Myotis alcathoe, M. mystacinus, M. brandtii) and basic biometric characters: evidence from the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Alcathoe bat (Myotis alcathoe), the whiskered bat (Myotis mystacinus) and the Brandt's bat (Myotis brandtii) represent three cryptic species living in sympatry across much of Europe. Although their determination based solely on external characters has been widely used in field research, there is no study addressing the reliability of such determination. Based on material of bats identified with the help of genetic methods, we aimed (1) to analyse the reliability of field determination, (2) to compare basic quantitative measurements (forearm length, length of tibia, body mass) and (3) to provide information on the reliability of using these measurements for field identification of these three species based on mate- rial from the Czech Republic. Fourteen of 359 individuals (3.9%) were originally erroneously determined based on external characters. Eight per cent of bats originally determined as M. alcathoe were in fact different species. In all M. mystacinus bats, the original specie
