Návrh úplného jmenosloví Petr Benda zoologické oddělení PM, Národní museum, Václavské nám. 68, CZ–115 79 Praha 1, Česko; katedra zoologie, PřF University Karlovy, Viničná 7, CZ–128 44 Praha 2, Česko; [email protected] Czech vernacular nomenclature of bats. I. Proposal of complete nomenclature. The first and also the last complete Czech vernacular nomenclature of bats was proposed by Presl (1834), who created names for three suborders (families), 31 genera and 110 species of bats (along with names for all other then known mammals). However, his nomenclature is almost forgotten and is not in common use any more. Although more or less representative Czech nomenclatures of bats were later proposed several times, they were never complete. The most comprehensive nomenclature was proposed by Anděra (1999), who gave names for all supra-generic taxa (mostly homonymial) and for 284 species within the order Chiroptera (ca. 31% of species names compiled by Koopman 1993). A new proposal of a complete Czech nomenclature of bats is given in the Appendix. The review of bat taxonomy by Simmons (2005) was adopted and complemented by several new taxa proposed in the last years (altogether ca. 1200 names). For all taxa, a Czech name (in binomial structure for species following the scientific zoological nomenclature) was adopted from previous vernacular nomenclatures or created as a new name, with an idea to give distinct original Czech generic names to representatives of all families, in cases of species- -rich families also of subfamilies or tribes.

The forgiver bat, disperse seeds and pollinate flowers by feeding on fruit, pollen and nectar and insectivore bat by feeding pest plants playing a significant role in biological defense. Bat populations are declining locally and continentally, due to habitat loss and roost disturbances. To gather basic distributional, ecological data and on each species and recognize the economic benefits of them, seeks to inventory and manage species and habitats are very necessary to conserve bats. Result showed that research station (Jahrom) is area with greater diversity of bats.
