  • Tvrtkovic et al. (2005) concluded that P. macrobullaris is restricted to karst areas. Apart from western Serbia, limestone is also widespread in eastern Serbia, in bordering regions with Bulgaria. So far, this species has not been found in spite of extensive survey efforts both in Bulgaria (Benda and Ivanova, 2003; Popov and Petrov, 2010) and eastern Serbia (Paunovic, 2000, 2004; Karapandza and Paunovic, 2010). Nevertheless, survey efforts should be increased and focused towards suitable habitats of alpine long-eared bat in that region.
