Geographic variations and taxonomic status of Myotis myotis (Borkhausen, 1797) in Turkey (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)

Bu araştırma, 1974 ve 1994 yılları arasında toplanan 146 Myotis myotis örneğinin taksonomik bir değerlendirmesidir. Türkiye’nin Myotis myotis’leri Palearktik Bölgeden verilen kayıtlarla karsılaştırıldı. Türkiye’de Myotis myotis myotis ve Myotis myotis macrocephalicus’un herikisinin yayılış gösterdigi tespit edildi. Herbir taksonun ayırıcı özellikleri, habitatı, kürk rengi, dış ve kafatası ölçüleri ve yayılışı verildi.

Türkiye’deki Myotis myotis (Borkhausen, 1797)’in coğrafik varyasyonları ve taksonomik durumları (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)

This study is a taxonomical evaluation of 146 specimens of Myotis myotis (Borkhausen, 1797) collected in Turkey between 1974 and 1994. Turkish Myotis myotis were compared with records from the Palaearctic Region. It was determined that both Myotis myotis myotis and Myotis myotis macrocephalicus are distributed in Turkey. The diagnostic characters, habitat, pelage colour, external and cranial measurements and distribution of each taxon were recorded.
