A total 233 specimens of 39 species were identified and listed. Four species-Grypocoris sexguttatus, Harpocera thoracica, Lygus wagneri, and Himacerus mirmicoides-were recorded from Nowotarska Dale for the first time. The vast majority of the material collected in the years 1932-1983 was obtained in the Tatra Mountains and Podhale region.

The article updates the data on its presence in Ojców National Park based on research conducted between 2009 and 2022. geoffroy's bat was observed in five summer shelters. A maternity colony was found in a shelter in Jadwiga Villa.

A list of 9 species is given. First data about seven species in this area are given, i.e. <em>Nicrophorus vespillo</em>, <em>Nicrophorus humator</em>, <em>Nicrophorus interruptus</em>, <em>Nicrophorus investigator</em>, <em>Oiceoptoma thoracica</em>, <em>Thanatophilus rugosus</em>, <em>Silpha tristis</em>. The study showed a considerable variety of carrion beetles while pointing out the need of further research on entomofauna in study area.

The largest number of aberrant colouration cases was recorded during the hibernation period in the Nietoperek bat reserve, western Poland (0.016% individuals with albinism). In 2014, five individuals with partial albinism and one flavistic bat were found there. Proportion of individuals with albinism varied from 0.05% in the case of M. nattereri, 0.02% in the case of M. daubentonii and only 0.007% in the case of M. myotis. During the studies on bat swarming in the Tatra Mountains one case of leucistic whiskered bat was recorded which accounts for 0.016% out of over 5,900 representatives of this species that were caught. Aberrant colouration in bats is rarely recorded in Poland and it is not associate...

Warchałowski, M. Pietraszko.-Lesser horseshoes are bats quite strongly attached to their roost sites and are considered as sedentary species avoiding long-distance migration. In Poland, the range of occurrence of the lesser horseshoe bat is restricted to mountain areas, where they prefer overgrown mountain streams for their feeding grounds. Due to these features, even seemingly small habitat changes are likely to have serious implications for maintaining local subpopulations of this rare and endangered species. In Radziechowy village, where trees were cut in the Wieśnik stream (bat feeding area), a change in the use of feeding grounds by lesser horseshoe bats was observed. This publication additionally describes the time and the manner of departure of bats from their roost. The study was conducted before the logging (2012) and immediately after the logging (2013-2016), near a church, from the most beneficial point. The study was conducted by a team of 2-3 members, starting each time 15 minutes before sunset and finishing after the bats departure. Lesser horseshoe bats avoid light and open space and they leave their roost in a complicated way. It is established that there is a statistically significant correlation (r = 0.992, p < 0.001) between sunset and emergence time of bats from the roost site. In this paper, during the emergence time, the weather influence was observed. On a cloudy day, an earlier emergence time was observed-9 minutes after the sunset, while the average emergence time for all observations was 23.3 minutes. The conducted detector watches proved that bats most likely use the closest environment of the colony within a radius of 150-200 meters. Lesser horseshoe bats were observed in ditches of roadside trees, dense hedges and backyard orchards overgrown with apples and pears, which is typical for this species.

However, in bat populations, there are individuals with visible fresh or healed injuries to the flight-enabling body parts. The aim of this research was to determine the differences in the occurrence of wing membrane damages among species of bats that differ in ecology and behavior. The study was conducted in southern and western Poland in the years 2000-2016 and included 3,525 individuals of six species: lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolopus hipposideros, Daubenton's bat Myotis daubentonii, Natterer's bat Myotis nattereri, greater mouse-eared bat Myotis myotis, western barbastelle Barbastella barbastellus, and brown long-eared bat Plecotus auritus. In all, 2.9% of the bats studied showed damage to the flight-enabling body parts. Natterer's bat was the species with the highest number of injured individuals (21.74%). The lowest number of injured individuals (0.3%) was found in the brown long-eared bat. The most frequently observed type of damage was loss of an edge of the wing membrane (29.3%). The bat species studied differed significantly in the occurrence and location of flight enabling body parts damages. Certain behavioral and ecological factors like foraging mode, foraging habitats and habitat types of bat species determine the number of wing and tail membrane damages.

W Polsce wykazywany był z nielicznych stanowisk w zachodniej i południowej części kraju (BURAKOWSKI i in. 1987: Kat. Fauny Pol., XXIII, 14: 1-309; STEBNICKA 1987: Klucze oznacz. owad. Pol., XIX, 84: 1-34). Nowsze publikacje przynoszą dane o jego obecności w Pieninach (ROSSA 1997: Wiad. entomol., 15, 4: 250), Bieszczadach (KUBISZ i in. 1998: Roczn. Muz. górnośl. (Przyr.), 15: 5-15), na Wyżynie Lubelskiej (PIOTROWSKI 2002: Wiad. entomol., 20, 3-4: 175-176) oraz Wyżynie Krakowsko-Wieluńskiej (DZIONEK 2006: Biuletyn częstochowskiego koła entomologicznego, Nr 5: 16-17). Chrząszcz zasiedla ciepłe stanowiska na terenach nizinnych oraz w niższych położeniach górskich. Imagines poławiano najczęściej jesienią, od września do listopada oraz wiosną w kwietniu i maju na trawiastych zboczach, pobrzeżach lasu, w rzadkich zagajnikach, na polach, miedzach oraz pastwiskach (BURAKOWSKI i in. 1987: ibid.). Gatunek ten umieszczony został w „Czerwonej liście zwierząt ginących i zagrożonych w Polsce”, otrzymując kategorię DD (dane niepełne) (PAWŁOWSKI i in. 2002: [W:] GŁOWACIŃSKI (red.): 88-110). Ze względu na rzadkość występowania, celowe jest podanie nowych informacji o występowaniu M. rugosus w Polsce zebranych przez autora: – Wyżyna Krakowsko-Wieluńska: Aleksandrowice (UTM: DA14), 13 XI 2000 – 1 ex., trawiaste zbocze „Winnej Góry”, leg. J. MICHALCEWICZ, det. et coll. P. SZWAŁKO. – Beskid Wschodni: Beskid Niski, Myscowa (EV48) ad Krempna, 20 XI 2009 – 1 ex., leg. et coll. J. MICHALCEWICZ, det. T. WOJAS. Odłowienie M. rugosus w okolicy Krakowa jest potwierdzeniem danych historycznych o występowaniu chrząszcza w tym rejonie kraju – podawane było stanowisko: Rybaki (ŁOMNICKI M. 1886: Muzeum Imienia DZIEDUSZYCKICH we Lwowie. Dział I. Zoologiczny Oddział zwierząt bezkręgowych. IV. Chrząszcze czyli Tęgoskrzydłe. (Coleoptera). Lwów). W Beskidzie Niskim gatunek ten dotychczas nie był notowany, natomiast z Beskidu Wschodniego, z okolic Przemyśla wykazał go niegdyś TRELLA (1923: Pol. Pismo Ent., 2: 12-19).
