Bats (Chiroptera) of Burkina Faso: Preliminary list with fifteen first records species
Napoko Malika KANGOYÉ, Adama OUEDA, Adjima THIOMBIANO and Wendengoudi GUENDA
Based on a fine review of bat literature in Burkina Faso, we identified the south-western and southeastern
parts of the country as gap regions where a study that aims to fill gap in bat diversity estimation could
be conducted. In total, 72 sampling sites distributed in 32 localities were surveyed between April 2008 and
September 2009. 407 m(...)
