Includes aladdin; see Corbet (1978c:53).; [MSW3] Subgenus Pipistrellus. A cryptic species previously confused with pipistrellus was recently identified based on echolocation call frequency and DNA sequence divergence; this taxon has been given the name pygmaeus Leach, 1825, see Jones and van Parijs (1993), Barratt et al. (1995, 1997), Jones and Barratt (1999), Häussler et al. (2000), Russo and Jones (2000), and Sendor et al. (2002). The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (2003b) placed both pipistrellus and pygmaeus on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology, and designated neotypes for both species to prevent future confusion of these taxa. Includes aladdin; see Corbet (1978c) and Bates and Harrison (1997). Does not include mediterraneus, which is a synonym of pygmaeus; see Jones and Barratt (1999) and Häussler et al. (2000). Some of the synonyms listed above may actually represent pygmaeus; they are retained here pending reexamination. See Jones (1997) and Mayer and Helversen (2001b) for geographic range in Europe and Harrison and Bates (1991) for the Middle East.; [HMW] Vespertilio pipistrellus Schreber, 1774 , France . Pipistrellus as currently defined is paraphyletic with a Western and an Eastern clade. The Western clade includes all European and African species (FP. pipistrellus , P. pygwaeus,- P cveticus, P hanali, P nathusé, P. maderensis , P. kuhlu, P. hesperidus , P. rus-Yicus, P. nanulus , P. inexspeciatus, P. ae, P. permixtus , and P. raceyr); the Eastern clade includes all Asiatic species (FP. dhofarensis, P. abramus , P. endou, P. sturdeei , P. javanicus , P. cooomandra, P. ceylonicus , P. tenuis , P. paterculus , P. stenopterus , P. minahassae , P. collinus , P. papuanus , P. angulatus , P. wattsi , P. westralis , and P. adamst), although this is a rather broad definition because not all currently recognized species are sequenced. The Eastern clade seems to be closely related to Glischropus ; the Western clade is closer to Nyctalus with Vansonia (previously included in Pipistrellus ), sister to the entire clade. During the 1980s and the 1990s, P. pipistrellus was split into P. pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus based on acoustic surveys, in which two different frequency bands were detected. Because of recent taxonomic changes, their distributions and conservation status are still debated. All records and phylogenetic analyses support the hypothesis that P. pupistrellus expanded into Europe from the Mediterranean during the Holocene. There seems to be three major genetic lineages in P. pipistrellus that might represent 2-3 distinct species: one throughout Europe and Asia, one in North Africa, and the other in Corsica and Sicily, which is sister to the North African part. Two subspecies recognized.; [batnames2022] Subgenus Pipistrellus . Mayer et al. (2007) found support for both subspecies as well as an additional unnamed group.

Some of the synonyms listed above may actually represent pygmaeus ; they are retained here pending reexamination. See Jones (1997) and Mayer and Helversen (2001 b ) for geographic range in Europe and Harrison and Bates (1991) for the Middle East.; [IUCN] The type species, Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Schreber 1774) was only separated from its sibling Pipistrellus pygmaeus (Leach 1825) by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 2003, following Jones and Barratt (1999). Older information may therefore refer to either, or both species. ; [batnames2023] Subgenus Pipistrellus . Mayer et al.

Muzzle is short, wings are narrow, wing and tail membranes are dark, and wingspan is 180-250 mm. Edge ofwings might have whitish border line similar to Kuhl’s Pipistrelle ( P. kuhlii ), which is lacking in Nathusius’s Pipistrelle ( P. nathusii ); uropatagium is only furred close to body. Ears are short, with rounded and considerably long tragus. Penis is gray, and baculum is long (c.1-8 mm), thin, and bifurcated at tip and base. Skull is slightly larger than in the Soprano Pipistrelle, with shorter mandibles and more upright canines, supposedly reflecting changes in their dietary specialization, with larger prey of the Common Pipistrelle; postorbital processis absent; condylo-basal lengths are 11-12 mm; braincase is relatively high; forehead profile is moderately concave; and sagittal crest is almost absent. I* is bicuspid, I’ is almost as high as I*, and there usually is not a gap between them; canines are comparatively weak; P? is small but visible above gum and slightly displaced lingually; C' and P* touch; and lower molars are nyctalodont. Dental formula for all species of Pipustrellusis12/3,C1/1,P2/2,M 3/3 (x2) = 34. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 42-44, FNa = 48-50, and FN = 52-54. Great variety of habitats including woodlands, forest edges, urban and rural areas, shrublands, semi-desert areas, farmland, and pastures from sea level up to elevations of ¢. 2000 m . Despite high morphological similarity, the Soprano Pipistrelle uses mostly riparian woodlands, and the Common Pipistrelle seems more common in deciduous forests. The Common Pipistrelle feeds on small flies ( Diptera , mainly Nematocera and Muscidae ) and occasionally moths ( Lepidoptera ), but it also reportedly preys on Trichoptera, Ephemeroptera, Hymenoptera , Neuroptera , and Coleoptera . It tends to forage along tree lines and land structures that protect them from wind, around streetlamps in cities or villages, and riverine habitats with smooth water surfaces and trees on both banks. Common Pipistrelles produce up to ten feeding buzzes per minute and are aerial hawkers. Maternity colonies can have several hundred individuals but usually contain 25-50 individuals. Nursery colonies are usually formed in May, and 1-2 young are born from mid-June to July. Young start to fly alone at c.1 month of age. Females become sexually active when they are c.1 year old, but males when they are c.2 years old. Mating occurs in August—October (autumn) when males defend territories, make courtship flights, and secrete specific odors. In Central Europe, Common Pipistrelles occasionally hybridize with Soprano Pipistrelles. Common Pipistrelles live an average of nine years; maximum longevity recorded was 16 years. Common Pipistrelles emerge c.20 minutes after sunset, and even earlier during warmest nights, with other species of Pipistrellus . Between May andJune, they emerge soon after dusk and return between midnight and dawn, showing a unimodal activity pattern. In late June, activity becomes bimodal, with one peak after dusk and another one before dawn. Flight is slow, erratic, and quite unpredictable, usually following linear structures and hunting with rapid and frequent dives. Roosts occur in a wide variety of natural and artificial structures (e.g. rock crevices, empty cavities in buildings, hollow trees, or under tree bark). The Common Pipistrelle is quite adaptable and resilient in urban-modified environments. Maternity roosts have been reported in buildings, trees (different types of forests), bridges, and wall crevices. Hibernation occurs in cliffs, old buildings, churches with wide walls (behind cladding), caves, mines, cellars, tunnels, and potentially also hollow trees, usually from late autumn to early spring. Echolocation calls are generally rather FM, especially in cluttered environments, but they shift to QCF calls in open spaces (pulses up to 10 milliseconds). Frequencies of maximum energy are42-51 kHz. Calls vary substantially depending on environmental clutter. Social calls usually have 4-5 trills, with lower frequency than search pulses. The Common Pipistrelle usually hunts in the same locations each night (e.g. over ponds, wetlands, and agricultural lands) that can be up to 25 km from the roost. Distances to foraging areas are reduced during lactation. Home ranges and foraging distances seem to be greater than in the Soprano Pipistrelle. Although the Common Pipistrelle is not considered migratory, some movements over 400 km have been reported, probably due to seasonal roost changes. While foraging sites are usually really close to nursery colonies, winter roosts are usually up to 50 km away from them. Summer roosts have relatively large colonies, but they roost individually or within small clusters during hibernation (some exceptions occur in Romania and Slovakia where colonies of 100,000 individuals have been reported). Swarming occurs during several months after parturition. The Common Pipistrelle might share roosts with other bat species such as Kuhl’s Pipistrelle. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Common Pipistrelle is one of the most common bats in its distribution, rather widespread and abundant, and considered to be favored by increases in urban areas. Although recent population increases have been noted, in some cities in Serbia and Russia ,it seems to be displaced by Kuhl’s Pipistrelle. Due to proximity of roosts to humans, many colonies of Common Pipistrelles suffer from direct persecution and roost disturbance. In cities, they might also be threatened by domestic animals. Most conservation actions take place in urban environments, including bat boxes and building renovation activities.

Common Pipistrelle Pipistrellus pipistrellus French: Pipistrelle commune / German: Zwergfledermaus / Spanish: Murciélago enano Other common names: Common Pipistrelle Bat , Small House Bat Taxonomy. Vespertilio pipistrellus Schreber, 1774 , France . Pipistrellus as currently defined is paraphyletic with a Western and an Eastern clade. The Western clade includes all European and African species (FP. pipistrellus , P. pygwaeus,- P cveticus, P hanali, P nathusé, P. maderensis , P. kuhlu, P. hesperidus , P. rus-Yicus, P. nanulus , P. inexspeciatus, P. ae, P. permixtus , and P. raceyr); the Eastern clade includes all Asiatic species (FP. dhofarensis, P. abramus , P. endou, P. sturdeei , P. javanicus , P. cooomandra, P. ceylonicus , P. tenuis , P. paterculus , P. stenopterus , P. minahassae , P. collinus , P. papuanus , P. angulatus , P. wattsi , P. westralis , and P. adamst), although this is a rather broad definition because not all currently recognized species are sequenced. The Eastern clade seems to be closely related to Glischropus ; the Western clade is closer to Nyctalus with Vansonia (previously included in Pipistrellus ), sister to the entire clade. During the 1980s and the 1990s, P. pipistrellus was split into P. pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus based on acoustic surveys, in which two different frequency bands were detected. Because of recent taxonomic changes, their distributions and conservation status are still debated. All records and phylogenetic analyses support the hypothesis that P. pupistrellus expanded into Europe from the Mediterranean during the Holocene. There seems to be three major genetic lineages in P. pipistrellus that might represent 2-3 distinct species: one throughout Europe and Asia, one in North Africa, and the other in Corsica and Sicily, which is sister to the North African part. Two subspecies recognized. Subspecies and Distribution.

Accessed on [28 September, 2022]. 90000000 Pipistrellus pipistrellus ANIMALIA CHORDATA MAMMALIA CHIROPTERA VESPERTILIONIDAE Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Schreber, 1774) The type species, Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Schreber 1774) was only separated from its sibling Pipistrellus pygmaeus (Leach 1825) by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in 2003, following Jones and Barratt (1999). Older information may therefore refer to either, or both species. 200000000 Pipistrellus pipistrellus Least Concern 2020 2019-05-14 00:00:00 UTC 3.1 English The species is widespread and abundant, and there is no evidence of current significant population decline. Consequently it is assessed as Least Concern. The common pipistrelle is an adaptable species that can be found hunting in a wide range of landscapes: from urban centres to arable land and woodland but would hunt close to woodlands or riparian areas, if available. Frequently forages around street lamps. It feeds on small moths and flies. Summer roosts are mainly found in buildings and trees, and colonies frequently change roost site through the maternity period. Most winter roosts in Europe were found in crevices in buildings, although cracks in cliffs and caves, as well as tree cavities are also utilised. Numerous winter aggregations are ;reported from several Romanian caves, with the largest consisting of 37,000 pipistrelles (Bücs et al. 2018). ;In Europe, small Diptera (midges and flies) are preferred, while Lepidoptera was the major prey in Turkey (see the literature review in Kyheröinen et al. 2019). ;Although migratory behaviour is inferred by genetical studies (Bryja et al. 2009), direct evidence of long-distance migrations is lacking. The published record of a ringed animal found at 1,123 km from the place of banding in Voronezh Reserve (Buresh 1941 in Hutterer et al. 2005) most probably refers to ;P. pygmaeus or to the Nathusius' pipistrelle ;P. nathusii . Habitat loss due to disappearance of landscape elements, which provide commuting routes for the species. Agricultural intensification leads to destruction of small-scale structured, insect-rich traditional agricultural landscapes and to decline in prey availability (Kyheröinen ;et al. ; 2019). The species is vulnerable to timber treatment and building renovation such as refurbishing or insulation projects (Battersby 2005, Simon et al. 2012). It may also suffer from light pollution at roosts and drinking sites (Voigt et al. 2018). It has a high risk of collisions with vehicles ;(Fensome, Mathews 2016). Significant declines were recorded in some European countries (e.g. the UK), although in Britain at least the trend has stabilised (Battersby 2005). According to Article 17 reports, it has favourable status in Atlantic, Black Sea, Continental and Pannonian regions within the European Union (EEA 2013). ;In the Boreal, Mediterranean and Steppic regions, the conservation status is ‘unfavourable-inadequate’. The only ‘unfavourable-bad’ reports originated from Sweden and France. Status in eastern parts of the range is unclear, although no cases of any obvious decline have ever been reported. Stable A widespread western Palearctic species with a range extending from the British Isles through southern Scandinavia, much of Europe (including all the Mediterranean countries, but with the exception of northern Fennoscandia) and through parts of north-western Africa (mountainous areas of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, also in Cyrenaica in Libya) and Middle to Central Asia, where a subspecies P.p. aladdin was described from (Benda, Gaisler 2015). Recently, this species has also been reported from Jordan, at the western edge of the region (Benda et al. 2010). Northern and eastern range margins in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are uncertain, because earlier records may refer to recently differentiated P. pygmaeus . Any confirmed findings of P. pipistrellus are absent from basins of Dnieper and Volga Rivers, as well as from the Baltic countries. Its occurrence has been confirmed in Crimea, Dniester and Left-Bank Dnipro Regions in Ukraine, the Caucasus and adjacent regions of Southern Russia, but wasn't recorded elsewhere northwards (Gazaryan et al. 2010, Godlevska, Rebrov 2018). Northernmost records in Finland (Siivonen, Wermundsen 2003) and Estonia (Masing 2015) derived from acoustic surveys and require further confirmation. Terrestrial It is protected by national legislation in most of the main ; range states, except Russia. There are also international legal obligations for its protection through the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) and EUROBATS Agreement. It is included in Appendix III ; of the Council of Europe’s Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention). Also included in Annex IV of EU Habitats and Species Directive. Important habitats partially protected by Natura 2000 sites and national networks of protected areas.

Perhaps Korea, Japan and Taiwan. Not Listed Least Concern Subgenus Pipistrellus. Mayer et al. (2007) found support for both subspecies as well as an additional unnamed group. A cryptic species previously confused with pipistrellus was recently identified based on echolocation call frequency and DNA sequence divergence; this taxon has been given the name pygmaeus Leach, 1825, see Jones and van Parijs (1993), Barratt et al.(1995, 1997), Jones and Barratt (1999), Häussler et al. (2000), Russo and Jones (2000), and Sendor et al. (2002). The International Commissionon Zoological Nomenclature (2003b) placed both pipistrellus and pygmaeus on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology, and designated neotypes for both species to prevent future confusion of these taxa. Does not include mediterraneus, which isa synonym of pygmaeus; see Jones and Barratt (1999) and Häussler et al. (2000). Some of the synonyms listed above may actually represent pygmaeus; they are retained here pending reexamination. See Jones (1997) and Mayer and Helversen (2001b) for geographic range in Europe and Harrison and Bates (1991) for the Middle East. Mammal Diversity Database. (2025).
