Urbanization is one of the main drivers of ecological change in the modern world. In most cases, species di- versity in urban landscapes is lower than in natural ones; however, some groups of animals are able to exploit and benefit from urban habitat. Pipistrellus kuhlii s.l. is( P. k. lepidus according to recent taxonomic review), a common European urban bat, whose range has expanded on a wide scale in the last 40 years. Thought to origi- nate in Central Asia, this species has extended its range throughout Eastern and Central and Europe (a distance of more than 2,500 km) in part by using human settlements as a habitat. This study examines the ecological features of P. k. lepidus in wintertime in the Eastern part of Ukraine, where this species has been living for 20 years. Thirty-nine winter records of P.

The IMF, which increased the amount of money available in loans to Ukraine from $1.5 billion to $1.7 billion, will begin disbursing an available $900 million for 1996 when Ukraine’s Parliament passes a budget. The Parliament reviewed the budget in its first reading on February 16, and Ukrainian government officials expect it to be passed in April. Michael Camdessus, executive director of the IMF, told reporters after his meeting with Mr. Kuchma at the Mayflower Hotel on February 20 that when the Parliament passes the budget, the IMF also is “ready to negotiate a program with Ukraine over three years, to the end of the century.” President Kuchma’s private visit to Washington on February 20-22 at the invitation of Freedom House, the human-rights watchdog organization, can be characterized as moving past a general show of support from the United States and international financial institutions for Ukraine’s one-and-a-half-year-old radical economic reform program to discussions of concrete proposals and projects.
