Here, we represent the first review of the bat fauna of the large territory of Central Ukraine (to the west from Dnieper River). The review is based on results of the original survey in 1999–2021 and data from all available sources (publications, museum collections). Fauna of the region includes 24 bat species: Eptesicus, 2 species; Barbastella, 1; Myotis, 10; Nyctalus, 3; Pipistrellus, 4; Plecotus, 2; Vespertilio, 1; Rhinolophus, 1. For each species there is a short description of its distribution (illustrated by a map), used roosts, seasonality of presence and reproductive status within the study area. The bat fauna composition is analysed by three distinguished subregions, from north to south: of mixed forests, the forest-steppe, and the Dniester river. The estimation of prevalence and comparative abundance of the species in the region is given. The general review of bat roosts, by their types (under- and overground), seasonality of usage, and sheltered species is presented. The paper is supplemented with the extensive array of original, earlier unpublished, primary data on bat records in the region.

“…Past studies in Ukraine have shown that for the most part bats are encountered as single individuals or occasionally in small groups in winter. Cases of 15-20 individuals in a single group are present but rare (Rebrov 2012;Gashchak et al 2013;Godlevska 2015;Godlevska & Rebrov 2018;Panchenko & Godlevska 2018), and no group of more than 50 (Zagorodniuk 2018) has been recorded. The larger groups (more than 50 individuals) of P. k. lepidus reported in this paper (Fig.…”

Urbanization is one of the main drivers of ecological change in the modern world. In most cases, species diversity in urban landscapes is lower than in natural ones; however, some groups of animals are able to exploit and benefit from urban habitat. Pipistrellus kuhlii s.l. is (P. k. lepidus according to recent taxonomic review), a common European urban bat, whose range has expanded on a wide scale in the last 40 years. Thought to originate in Central Asia, this species has extended its range throughout Eastern and Central and Europe (a distance of more than 2,500 km2) in part by using human settlements as a habitat. This study examines the ecological features of P. k. lepidus in wintertime in the Eastern part of Ukraine, where this species has been living for 20 years. Thirty-nine winter records of P. k. lepidus(1,301 individuals totally) were selected from the database of the Bat Rehabilitation Center of Feldman Ecopark, 19 of which were groups from 2 to 641 individuals. Pipistrellus k. lepidus was found in various types of structures, but most often in administrative buildings (school buildings - 69%). Records were usually obtained during renovation works (85%), and the roosting sites were cavities between the wooden planks of window frames and a wall (75%). The records were obtained in 26 settlements, from a village (0,293 kmand 252 people) to the biggest cities in the country (Kharkiv and Odessa). The sex ratio in winter aggregation in adults varied from 47% to 61% of females and for this-year individuals from 48% to 58%, respectively. The body mass at the end of the hibernation period (February/March) decreases for 17–20% compared to the beginning of the period (December). Adult females have bigger body size (body mass and forearm length) (p-value < 0.05). Our results showed that P. k. lepidus is capable of forming homogeneous, sedentary populations in all types of settlements in Ukraine for these twenty years. However, this choice of habitat means that the species faces a high mortality risk from humans during building renovation and insulation works or pest control actions.

Bats of Ukraine and their investigators: 20 years of activity and milestones.-I. Zagorodniuk.-An overview of the growth and development of chiropterological movements in Ukraine and of research devoted to the study of fauna, status of populations, and problems of bat conservation, as well as the education of citizens in the protection of bat populations in natural and anthropogenic habitats. These processes are considered in the context of four developmental periods: period 1: beginnings and the first intensities (1995-2003), period 2: research extensions (2003-2009), period 3: "red" books and urban studies (2010-2017), period 4: perspectives (continued). An overview of the most important monographic editions, reviews, thematic collections of scientific works, field keys, and dissertations is given. K e y w o r d s : bats, Ukraine, research, monitoring, protection, Theriological Society. Кажани України та їхні дослідники: 20 років активності та основні віхи.-І.

Ці процеси розглянуто у розрізі чотирьох періодів розвитку: період 1: початки і перші інтенсиви (1995-2003), період 2: дослідницькі екстенсиви (2003-2009), період 3: червоні книги та урбістика (2010-2017), період 4: перспективи (подальше).
