摘要: Faeces of Myotis capaccinii were collected from four individuals netted in a spring colony Denia, Alicante (south-eastern Iberian Peninsula). Faecal analysis revealed the presence fish scales and bones all droppings examined (two pellets for each individual, i.e., n = 8), with volumes ranging 6-82.5 % prey remains. Remains Diptera Trichoptera also found. These data provide first evidence piscivory M. capaccinii, reveal that this may be an important feeding behaviour species, at least locally and/or seasonally.
