A complete list of all bat records so far available from Bulgaria was compiled from literary references and original data. It is supplemented with distribution maps and a brief summary of the distributional status of each species, tables of measurements of newly recorded bat specimens, and some ecological or taxonomic notes. In total, at least 32 species of bats have been recorded in 2127 localities in Bulgaria, viz., Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (Schreber, 1774) (296 records), R. hipposideros (Bechstein, 1800) (274), R. euryale Blasius, 1853 (104), R. mehelyi Matschie, 1901 (29), R. blasii Peters, 1866 (60), Myotis myotis (Borkhausen, 1797) (184), M. blythii (Tomes, 1857) (117), M. bechsteinii (Kuhl, 1817) (27), M. nattereri (Kuhl, 1817) (34), M. emarginatus (Geoffroy, 1806) (73), M. mystacinus (Kuhl, 1817) or M. alcathoe Helversen et Heller, 2001 (11; plus 23 unspecified records of M. mystacinus s. l.), M. aurascens Kusjakin, 1935 (22), M. brandtii (Eversmann, 1845) (7–9), M. daubentonii (Kuhl, 1817) (36), M. dasycneme (Boie, 1825) (1), M. capaccinii (Bonaparte, 1837) (79), Vespertilio murinus Linnaeus, 1758 (23), Eptesicus serotinus (Schreber, 1774) (79), E. nilssonii (Keyserling et Blasius, 1839) (1), Hypsugo savii (Bonaparte, 1837) (67), Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Schreber, 1774) (28, plus 63 unspecified records of P. pipistrellus s. l.), P. pygmaeus (Leach, 1825) (1), P. nathusii (Keyserling et Blasius, 1839) (28), P. kuhlii (Kuhl, 1817) (9–10), Nyctalus noctula (Schreber, 1774) (92), N. leisleri (Kuhl, 1817) (12–13), N. lasiopterus (Schreber, 1780) (11), Barbastella barbastellus (Schreber, 1774) (23), Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus, 1758) (28), P. austriacus (Fischer, 1829) (101), Miniopterus schreibersii (Kuhl, 1817) (174), and Tadarida teniotis (Rafinesque, 1814) (10). Several other species, such as Plecotus kolombatovici Đulić, 1980 and P. macrobullaris Kuzjakin, 1965, were recorded in closest neighbourhood of the Bulgarian territory and are looked upon as possible candidates for the fauna of Bulgaria. Based on structural differences in bat fauna, the territory of Bulgaria was subdivided into three major faunal regions: (I) Higher mountains (Balkan and Rila-Rhodopes Massifs and adjacent karstic regions, incl. the Mediterranean Struma and Mesta valleys), (II) Karstic lowlands and uplands (parts of Danubian and Upper Thracian Lowlands and the Eastern Balkan Mts.), and (III) the Black Sea region (incl. the Strandža Mts. and Ludogorie Plateau). Composition of the bat fauna shows a strong primary W-E gradient and then only a secondary N-S one. Zoogeography, distribution, fauna, Chiroptera, Balkan peninsula, Bulgaria, Palaearctic region INTRODUCTION The territory of the present Republic of Bulgaria (110,993 km2) covers the central and eastern parts of the Balkan Peninsula and, from the biogeographic point of view, it presents a broad transitional zone between realms of the Mediterranean arboreal and the European mixed forests in south- eastern Europe. The territory of Bulgaria includes various habitat types, from semi-arid steppe and 245 coastal shrub woods to forests and alpine meadows in high mountains (Fig. 1). It lies at the zone of intergradation of the Mediterranean subtropic climate (which essentially influences the south- ern part of the country) and the temperate climates with maximum precipitation in spring and autumn. Bulgaria is adjacent and widely open towards the Black Sea and the Danubian Lowland. A large central area of the country belongs to the belt of chain-folded alpinid mountains of the Carpathian- Balkan system (the Balkan Mts. [= Stara Planina Mts.], 2376 m a. s. l.). The Balkan Mts. build mostly of the Upper Mesozoic carbonate rocks are bordered by old fault mountain system of the Rila-Rhodopes Mts. (with peaks at 2925 m a. s. l.), which core is build by a crystalline rocks. The lowland of the Danube valley completes the relief diversity and builds the possible relay with the vast East European plain while the valleys of rivers Struma, Mesta and Marica broadly incissed into the mountain relief of southern Bulgaria interconnect the region directly with the lowlands of true Mediterranean. About one fourth of the total square of the country lies in the montane altitudinal zone (above 800 m a. s. l.) while at the same time the eastern and northern part of the country is nearly at the altitude of sea level. The effect of extreme declivity, greatly variegated mosaic relief and extensive predominace of carbonate rocks results in intesive a very diversed karstification. The karstic landscape covers about 23% of the country, and frequently takes forms of monumentous rocky cliffs and spacious natural caves (over 4200 caves are known in Bulgaria). The unique geographic position, diverse relief and climate as well as the structurally greatly variegated landscape continuously, for more than 8000 years, extensivelly impacted by postneo- lithic antropogenic rearrangements, set the pattern for the very high biodiversity (cf. Sakaljan & Majni 1993). In full this hold also for the bat fauna of Bulgaria. It should be emphasized, of course, that also amount of information on distribution, faunal and taxonomical status of bats is here much larger than in any other country of the SE Europe and/or SE Mediterranean (comp. Benda & Horáček 1998, Hanák et al. 2001, Uhrin et al. 1996, Kryštufek et al. 1992, 1998). Compared to other parts of the Balkan Peninsula where the research on mammals at the system- atic level did not start until the period between World War I and II or even later (Hanák et al. 2001), the research on the mammals in Bulgaria, including its bat fauna, had started much earlier, already in the late 19th century, that is, at the very beginning of the recent history of the Bulgarian state. The bat fauna of Bulgaria was thoroughly reviewed by Bureš (1917) for the first and by Hanák & Josifov (1959) for the second time. Since that time the amount of data increased almost explosivel- ly. In most species, the currently demonstrated distributional statuses differ much of any previous expectations and in respect to the extent of background information they can be considered quite realistic. In short, comparing to our previous survey on the Eastern Mediterranean bats (Benda & Horáček 1998, Hanák et al. 2001), this one examplifies a region which bat fauna is actually compre- hended into great details and provides the most reliable information on the subject over whole the E-Mediterranean region. Bat research in Bulgaria The first data on the recent mammal fauna of Bulgaria were published by Hristovič (1892). He stressed the very interesting zoogeographical position of the country and listed all known records of mammals, among them, two bat species, viz. Rhinolophus ferrumequinum and Myotis myotis. Later, V. Kovačev, a secondary school teacher, founded a nature collection in the town of Ruse on the basis of which he published records of the following bat species: Rhinolophus ferrumequi- num, R. hipposideros, Myotis myotis, Pipistrellus pipistrellus, Nyctalus noctula, N. leisleri, Ple- cotus auritus, and Miniopterus schreibersii (Kovačev 1894, 1906, 1908). At the beginning of the 20th century Dr. Ivan Bureš started scientific research on Bulgarian caves and founded the bat 246 collection at the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia. In his first paper specially con- cerned with bats of Bulgaria (Bureš 1917), he listed six new species for the country: Rhinolophus euryale, Myotis mystacinus, Eptesicus serotinus, Vespertilio murinus, Pipistrellus nathusii, and Nyctalus lasiopterus, and gave detailed descriptions of the external and dental morphology of all 14 Bulgarian bat species known at that time. Dr. Bureš also assisted the Russian professor P. Bahmet’ev (University of Sofia) who described for the first time the condition of anabiosis in mammals, based on experiments with bats. Bureš (1924, 1925, 1926) was also the first author who stressed the importance of “bat caves” in Bulgaria. In the period 1920–1945 the study of caves and cave fauna continued intensively under his leadership (Atanasov 1936a, b, 1942). In that period Bulgaria was also visited by a number of foreign naturalists who recorded several new bat species as well as new distributional data on already known species as Barbastella barbastellus, Myotis blythii, M. bechsteinii, M. emarginatus, M. capaccinii, and M. daubentonii (Boetticher 1925, Heinrich 1936, Wolf 1940). It was also Dr. I. Bureš who in 1940 applied, for the first time in Bulgaria, the method of bat banding in order to study their migrations (Bureš 1941, 1942). In 1955 a group of

  • About Bulgaria
    Source: Zone Bulgaria (http://en.zonebulgaria.com/) About Bulgaria General Information about Bulgaria Bulgaria is a country in Southeastern Europe and is situated on the Balkan Peninsula. To the north the country borders Rumania, to the east – the Black Sea, to the south – Turkey and Greece, and to the west – Yugoslavia and Macedonia. Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic with a National Assembly (One House Parliament) of 240 national representatives. The President is Head of State. Geography of Bulgaria The Republic of Bulgaria covers a territory of 110 993 square kilometres. The average altitude of the country is 470 metres above sea level. The Stara Planina Mountain occupies central position and serves as a natural dividing line from the west to the east. It is a 750 km long mountain range stretching from the Vrushka Chuka Pass to Cape Emine and is part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. It reaches the Black Sea to the east and turns to the north along the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border. A natural boundary with Romania is the Danube River, which is navigable all along for cargo and passenger vessels. The Black Sea is the natural eastern border of Bulgaria and its coastline is 378 km long. There are clearly cut bays, the biggest two being those of Varna and Bourgas. About 25% of the coastline are covered with sand and hosts our seaside resorts. The southern part of Bulgaria is mainly mountainous. The highest mountain is Rila with Mt. Moussala being the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula (2925 m). The second highest and the mountain of most alpine character in Bulgaria is Pirin with its highest Mt.

The country, which is positioned at a crossroads between Europe and Asia, contains nine World Heritage sites, and has rich cultural, historical, and religious resources reaching back from the ancient Greeks and beyond medieval times. It contains mountain ski resorts, beaches with sun and sand (the self-named “sun-and-sand-stalag”), and many “wild” and undeveloped rural areas for adventure seekers. These resources provide a strong base for tourism in Bulgaria. In the mid-1990s, while many sectors of the Bulgarian economy were registering losses, statistics reported by the National Statistic Institute and Ministry of Finance show the tourism sector was steadily generating positive financial results.

  • The Slugs of Bulgaria (Arionidae, Milacidae, Agriolimacidae
    POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK INSTYTUT ZOOLOGII ANNALES ZOOLOGICI Tom 37 Warszawa, 20 X 1983 Nr 3 A n d rzej W ik t o r The slugs of Bulgaria (A rionidae , M ilacidae, Limacidae, Agriolimacidae — G astropoda , Stylommatophora) [With 118 text-figures and 31 maps] Abstract. All previously known Bulgarian slugs from the Arionidae, Milacidae, Limacidae and Agriolimacidae families have been discussed in this paper. It is based on many years of individual field research, examination of all accessible private and museum collections as well as on critical analysis of the published data. The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

It uses all hydrometric and cartographic information for the Bulgarian part of the catchment. Trans- boundary catchment of Nišava River includes four sub-basins, which are trans-borders too. There are a lot of karst areas in the river basin. The drainage density is 1.09 km/km2. Water resources of Nišava River are 170 million m3. They vary between 300.0 and 84.0 million m3. The period of high water appears in March/April and finishes in June. The frequency of monthly maximum is biggest in April or May. The monthly minimum appears most often in September or October. Floods in the catchment of the river Nišava are most often in March, May and June. Some of the rivers lose its waters in the karst areas and dries up during the summer. The average number of days with ice is between 10 and 70. The chemical and ecological status of river water is good. Key words: Nišava River, water resources, stream flow’s regime Introduction There are 71 international river basins in Europe witch cover 54 % of total area (Wolf et al., 1999). One of them – Danube basin, includes some trans-boundary catchments between Bulgaria and Serbia – drainage basins of Timok River (right tributary of Danube) and Nišava River (right tributary of South Morava).

  • Influence of the Solar Activity on Cave Air Temperature Regimes
    “Physics of Auroral Phenomena”, Proc. XLI Annual Seminar, Apatity, pp. 168-171, 2018 Polar Geophysical © Polar Geophysical Institute, 2018 Institute DOI: 10.25702/KSC.2588-0039.2018.41.168-171 INFLUENCE OF THE SOLAR ACTIVITY ON CAVE AIR TEMPERATURE REGIMES Penka Stoeva and Alexey Stoev Space Research and Technology Institute - BAS, Stara Zagora Department, P.O. Box 73, 6000 Stara Zagora, Bulgaria; e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Caves and their evolution are influenced by solar activity as all the natural processes. The study of this influence needs constant monitoring of the air temperature and physical parameters of the cave – rock temperature, condense processes, heat exchange etc. We consider cave air temperature response to climate and solar and geomagnetic activity for four show caves in Bulgaria (latitude φ=42.50°, longitude λ=25.30°) for a period of 46 years (1968 – 2013). Everyday noon measurements in Ledenika, Saeva dupka, Snezhanka and Uhlovitsa cave have been used. Cave temperatures in the zone of constant temperatures (ZCT) are compared with surface temperatures recorded at meteorological stations situated near about the caves – in the towns of Vratsa, Lovech, Peshtera and Smolyan, respectively. The Hansen cave, Middle cave and Timpanogos cave from the Timpanogos Cave National Monument, Utah, USA have also been examined for comparison (latitude φ=40.27°, longitude λ=111.43°). It has been found that the correlation between cave air temperature time series and sunspot number is better than that between the cave air temperature and Apmax indices; that tZCT is rather connected with the first peak in geomagnetic activity, which is associated with transient solar activity (CMEs) than with the second one, which is higher and connected with the recurrent high speed streams from coronal holes.
