Pliocene bats of the genus Myotis (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from Podlesice (Poland) and Osztramos 9 and 13 (Hungary)

Abstract:

Twelve Pliocene species from Podlesice (Poland) and Osztramos 9 and 13 (Hungary) were examined by stepwise discriminant analysis and cluster analysis. Three fossil species, previously not recorded from Poland were found in Podlesice. The use of stepwise discriminant analysis for distinguishing species within groups of fossil an drecent bats is discussed. Status of all fossil species has been maintained till now because of lack the data from Gundersheim collection.
