“…Based on observation data in the archives of the Finnish Museum of Natural History, known hibernacula in Finland are mostly man-made structures, such as cellars and bunkers. Hibernation sites in Norway are rock scree deposits (Michaelsen et al 2013), and such deposits are considered potential hibernation sites also in Finland. Some observations indicate that bats could also hibernate in snake hibernacula (Viitanen 1967) and tors (stone fields, N. Fritzén pers.…”

This atlas is based on information in museum collections, literature, databases and unpublished data. In the last 150 years, the number of bat species in Finland increased from six to thirteen. Of these, five are common and regularly breeding (Eptesicus nilssonii, Myotis brandtii, Myotis daubentonii, Myotis mystacinus, Plecotus auritus), and eight rare (Eptesicus serotinus, Myotis dasycneme, Myotis nattereri, Nyctalus noctula, Pipistrellus nathusii, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Pipistrellus pygmaeus, Vespertilio murinus), of which breeding of two (M. nattereri, P. nathusii) have been confirmed. The total number of records in the study is 11 234, of which 9717 are identified to species. The records are from 940 (25%) 10-km 2 squares of Finland's land area. Of the records, 89% are new (1993-2014). Of the recorded bat species, only Eptesicus nilssonii occurs in each of the 21 biogeographical provinces. A decreasing south-north gradient in species richness and abundance exists which may be related to research efforts that are clearly higher in the south.

“…For many of these species, natural hibernacula include not only caves, rock crevices, and rock screes, but also tree hollows. Michaelsen et al (2013) reported that in Norway, hibernating bats prefer anthropogenic structures rather than natural subground hibernacula, but the reason for this preference was unknown. Bats, such as big brown bats, Eptesicus fuscus, hibernating in walls of heated buildings expose themselves to ambient temperatures of 2-5 °C which are created by the balance between warm interior temperatures from heated rooms and cold ambient temperatures from the outside (Whitaker and Gummer 1992).…”

Humans have shared buildings with bats for thousands of years, probably as early as first humans built primitive huts. Indeed, many bat species can be defined as synanthropic, i.e., they have a strong ecological association with humans. Bats have been observed using buildings as roosting and foraging sites, temporary shelters, for reproduction and hibernation. A synanthropic lifestyle may result in direct fitness benefits owing to energetic advantages in warmer roosts, which may ultimately lead to more rapid gestation and faster development of juveniles, or by being less exposed to natural predators in urban environments.

“…Низкая численность рукокрылых на зимовках характерна для северных популяций летучих мышей (Ануфриев, 2007;Рыков, 2008;Michaelsen et al, 2013;Белкин и др., 2015). Характерной особенностью распределения рукокрылых по зимовкам, в том числе и в более южных регионах, является слабая заселяемость ночницами убежищ с низкой влажностью воздуха ; Смирнов и др., 2008; Siivonen, Wermundsen, Белкин В.

“…Изучение летучих мышей, ведущих ночной образ жизни в летний период и находящихся в состоянии гибернации в подземных и других убежищах в зимний период года, сопряжено с особыми трудностями (Michaelsen et al, 2013), что и определило слабую изученность рукокрылых на севере Европейской части России -в Мурманской и Архангельской областях, в Республике Карелия (Богдарина, Стрелков, 2003). Большинство сведений по летучим мышам Карелии связано с их случайными встречами (Бианки, 1916; Исаков, 1939; Строганов, 1949; Кузякин, 1950; Марвин, 1959; Зимин, Ивантер, 1969) и лишь отдельные работы (Стрелков, 1958; Лыкова, Коросов, 1995; Богдарина, 2004; Чистяков, Богдарина, 2010) основаны на ограниченных учетных материалах в южной Карелии.…”

The article deals with the least studied systematic group of mammals of Karelia-bats (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae). The aim of the study was to determine the status of the species in the process of their inventory by traditional and modern research methods. For the first time the comprehensive assessment of the species composition, relative abundance (%) and relative number (ind./km of the route) of bats during the period of hibernation and their summer activity in Karelia is presented. Monitoring of winter underground shelters was carried out in 2009-2018. It was shown that five species of bats winter in Karelia; they are the northern bat, the Brandt's bat, the whiskered bat, the Daubenton's bat, the brown long-eared bat. The northern bat predominates: its relative abundance is 65.3 %. In the summer the common noctule parti-coloured bat, the Natterer's bat and the pond bat were registered in addition to wintering species mentioned above. It was done the road routes in the latitudinal direction using static ultrasound detector Song Meter SM2 Bat+ and Kaleidoscope Pro (ver. 3.1.1.) software on. In the summer surveys the northern bat dominated: its relative abundance is 70.4 %, relative number-0.413 ind./km of the route. It was registered up to 66°11'N. Other species are much less common, the northern boundaries of their registration are located southwards, and their relative number is 0.001-0.028 ind./km of the route. Studies showed the absolute dominance of the northern bat in bat communities, both in wintering and during in summer activity. Northern boundaries of the species registration were determined. It changes the old ideas about their distribution and spread in the European North of Russia.
