& Erlangen (Germany). With 228 photographs by Christian Dietz and Otto von
Helversen and 14 drawings by Otto von Helversen.
Since the identification key on the European bats published by VON HELVERSEN
in 1989 a surprising number of new species has been discovered in Europe1) with
the number of species rising from 31 to 39 in 2004. This rapid development in
taxonomy and systematics has made it harder for field biologists to identify
living bats, especially in the Mediterranean area. Most of the newly discovered
cryptic species are closely related to one or more long known species. In some
of these species groups identification has been problematic for many years and
species assignment could only be solved by the aid of modern molecular methods.
But the analysis of genetic characters is an inappropriate method for most field
studies. Our new key on the European bats was written mainly for biologists
aiming to identify captured living bats which would be released after identification.(
