A pipistrelle is a type of?
Kuhl's pipistrelle Kuhl's pipistrelle Kuhl's pipistrelle ("Pipistrellus kuhlii") is a species of vesper bat that lives over large areas of North Africa, southern Europe and Western Asia. It can be found in temperate forests, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation, temperate grassland, rural gardens, and urban areas. Kuhl's pipistrelle was first named in 1817, under the name "Vespertilio kuhlii", in a work by Heinrich Kuhl entitled "" ("The bats of Germany"). The specific epithet was chosen by Johann Natterer, who had collected the first specimens, and commemorates Kuhl; under the rules of the ICZN, however, Kuhl himself is regarded as
Soprano pipistrelle kHz pipistrelle and the 55 kHz pipistrelle, or the bandit pipistrelle (common) and the brown pipistrelle (soprano). Since the two species were split, a number of other differences, in appearance, habitat and food, have also been discovered. The "Soprano pipistrelle" is known to roost throughout Europe in rooftops and houses. One study, done by Lourneco and Palmeirim, found that the reason behind a preference for rooftops was because of the available thermal differences throughout a roof. Although "Soprano pipistrelle" can thermal regulate up to 40 degrees C it prefers not to go above this temperature. Rooftops give the maternity colonies
