In August 2017 we will start a new part of our project to connect a hugh swarming site on maternity sites. For that, we will follow 3 female Myotis alcathoe, 3 Myotis brandtii and 15 females Bechsteins bats back from a Swarming site in Wallonia. We will be sure that we will find with this way colony sites of Bechsteins bats like in Dekeukeleire et al 2016, even that this method works for M nattereri and M daubentonii (Parsons & Jones, 2003 and Furmankiewicz, 2008.

A first pilot in 2009 gave no direct findings for M brandtii. By that, we are not sure this method will work for the Whiskered bat species M alcathoe and M brandtii. Are there maybe people that did already tries by this two species? We like to hear about this.
