Among 38 bat species recorded in Turkey, the greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis) and the lesser mouse-eared bat (Myotis blythii) are the most common. They occur sympatrically in natural and anthropogenic roosts. Field trips aimed to evaluate the potential distribution range of these two taxa in all regions of Turkey were conducted in the period 2004–2008. Within this study, we determined the current distribution of M. myotis and M. blythii throughout Turkey and recorded new localities in Kırıkkale, Kilis, Gaziantep, and Batman.
