National audience. Bats were mist-netted in six main habitats of the Bou-Hedma National Park over two years. Most of the seven recorded species are widely distributed in northwestern Africa, except the Saharan Otonycteris hemprichii. Basins of Bordj and Nouh were the most attractive for bats, mainly in early summer. Oued Bou-Hedma was less attractive, particularly in winter. No bat was mist-netted in the steppe and the two types of Acacia forest, which supports the major role of water bodies in the Mediterranean area. Winter activity of bats was detected and tentatively quantified. Also informative is the fact that captures peaked when most Pipistrellus kuhlii and Eptesicus isabelhnus were pregnant or lactating.
