Özet

The greater noctule, Nyctalus lasiopterus is one of the least known vespertilionid bats in Turkey, and more information is needed to evaluate its presence in Turkey. In this study, we report the species from Anatolia and the European part of Turkey. This is the first record from the European part of Turkey with an unusual roosting site. The recent records of N. lasiopterus from Turkey indicate that the species has a wide range in Turkey as a resident species, and its roosting habitats are represented by mainly mountainous and coniferous forests in Turkey.
