“…Many authors (e.g. Hiirka, 1966;Eisentraut, 1936a) have reported summer colonies totalling between 20-70 individuals but rarely much larger than this. Dumitresco & Orghidan (1963) did record one nursing colony of over 200 females in a monastery at Cermica, Rumania but no other information was available.…”

A study in Dorset, England, of a very large nursing colony of the common bat Pipistrellus pipistrellus provided some much needed basic taxonomic data for this species in the British Isles. Despite the fact that 389 of 429 bats caught were juveniles the measurements were demonstrated to be comparable to adults. The sex ratio of juveniles were shown to be 1:1. No adult males were caught. Amongst the 40 adult females, eight were nulliparous (never having had young) and the remainder had all given birth and were lactating or just post lactating. It appeared that at least some Pipistrellus do not become pregnant in their first year. It was estimated that this colony consumed a minimum of 100 kg of flying insects during July and August. The individuals tend to be 0·5 g heavier one year after weaning and a further 0·5 g heavier the following year. Adult females leave the nursery roost immediately after weaning and it was suggested that this may be to prevent competing for food with the juveniles. Behaviour in roost, upon emergence and in captivity is described.

“…1999 ), whereas a survey of nuclear genetic markers suggest that male dispersal is almost random ( Petit & Mayer 1999; E. Petit, F. Balloux and J. Goudet, unpublished results). Winter roosts comprise from a few up to several thousand individuals ( Harrje 1994) of both sexes and consist of bats that come from different geographical regions ( Eisentraut 1935; Meise 1951). An analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences has shown that only 5.3% of the genetic variability was due to differences between nursery colonies in Eastern and Central Europe ( Petit et al .…”

A population genetic analysis of migration: the case of the noctule bat (Nyctalus noctula)

Although rarely assessed, the population genetics of hibernating colonies can help to understand some aspects of population structure, even when samples from nursery or mating colonies are not available, or in studies of migration when both types of samples are available and can be compared. Here we illustrate both points in a survey of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequences used to study the population genetics of hibernating colonies of a migrating species, the noctule bat (Nyctalus noctula). Lacking samples from Scandinavian nursery colonies, we use a North European hibernacula to suggest that Scandinavian populations are isolated from Central and East European colonies. Then, we compare genetic diversities of nursery and hibernating colonies. We find a significantly higher haplotype diversity in hibernacula, confirming that they consist of individuals from different nursery colonies. Finally, we show that pairwise comparisons of the haplotype frequencies of nursery and hibernating colonies contain some information on the migration direction of the noctule bat.
