Distribution models and ecological features oflong-eared bats (genus Plecotus; Chiroptera, Mammalia) in Croatia

The main aim of this study was to model the potential distribution of four Plecotus species in Croatia, examine the differences in their ecological niches and determine their conservation status in Croatia. The predictive models were built using the Ecological Niche Factor Analysis (ENFA) and the maximum entropy modelling method (Maxent), while the stud…
