Özet

Food habits data were obtained from 26 species of bats from Turkey. Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis capaccinu, M mystacinus Plecotus auritus, P austriacus, P kolombatovici, P macrobullaris, and Rhinolophus euryale were primarily moth feeders. Epstesicus bottae, E serotinus, Myotis myotis, and Taphozous nudiventris fed heavily on beetles. Myotis aurascens and, M brandtu fed heavily on Diptera Myotis blythu and Tadarida teniotis were tentatively classified as cricket feeders at least in Turkey Hypsugo savu, Minitopterus schreibersu, Myotis emarginatus, M nattereri, Pipistrellus kuhlu, P pipistrellus, P pygmaeus, Rhinolophus ferrumequinum R hipposideros, and R mehelyi preyed on a variety of insects and may be treated as generalists. In 17 species, the foods found paralleled those previously reported in the literature, but in nine (some with notably small samples) they did not. These are apparently the first data on the food of Plecotus macrobullaris, P kolombatovict, M schreibersii, and M aurascens.
