Abstract

We studied the impact of road E461 on bat mortality. Bat carcasses were picked from emergency stopping lanes, and bat activity was recorded by ultrasound detectors along the road. 25 checks of bat mortality revealed 119 bat carcasses representing 11 or 12 species, and 3 nights of monitoring bat activity by ultrasound detectors yielded 12 bat species and 3 species couples. The most frequent traffic casualties were defined and significant correlation was found between the number of carcasses and the amount of activity according to road segments.

Abstract (in Czech)

Studovali jsme vliv silnice E416 na mortalitu netopýrů. Z postranic silnice byly sesbírány kadavery a kolem silnice byla sledována aktivita netopýrů ultrazvukovými detektory. 25 sběrů poskytlo 119 mrtvol 11 nebo 12 druhů netopýrů a 3 noci monitorování aktivity detekcí ultrazvuku ukázaly 12 druhů a 3 druhové dvojice. Bylo zjištěno, které druhy jsou nejčastěji usmrcovány dopravou a prokázána korelace mezi počtem kadaverů a stupněm aktivity podle segmentů silnice.
