Abstract
⺠Landscape history may strongly influence present species richness and abundance patterns. ⺠In both Atlantic and Mediterranean areas bats selected roost features likely providing a more favourable energetic balance. ⺠Smaller foraging areas and ranges support the idea of higher habitat quality in the Mediterranean. ⺠Is not likely that prey availability strongly limits the presence of the species in either region. ⺠Bechstein's bats current distribution reflects the severe deforestation in the Mediterranean.
