Abstract
Liechtenstein is a topographically diverse country despite its
small size of just 160 km 2 , home to a rich mammalian fauna
and high habitat heterogeneity. This monograph is the first
comprehensive overview of the mammals of Liechtenstein
since Ernst von Lehmann’s «Säugetieren des Fürstentums
Liechtenstein», published in 1962. Extensive bat distribution
data from decades of research by Silvio Hoch, as well as data
from a recent three-year small mammal distribution study
are the foundation of this compendium. Data from the
«Amt für Wald, Natur und Landschaft» and observations by
the general public complement these studies.
76 species are portrayed in detail with a majority also
featuring Liechtenstein distribution maps. Information on
distribution, habitat preferences, threats and possible conservation
measures make this monograph an invaluable
resource for conservation work, as many species are internationally
protected and endangered in neighboring countries.
Several bat species, but also the charismatic beaver are
prime examples. Creating red list of endangered species of
Liechtenstein was not attempted as data is still incomplete
for a number of species.
The aforementioned studies revealed significant need to improve
our knowledge of distribution and habitat use of bats,
small mammals and martens. Additionally, population monitoring
of hare, beaver, and non-native fauna should be conducted
regularly.
Conserving mammalian diversity in Liechtenstein must also
include habitat conservation and restoration. Particularly
important are the restoration of watercourses, increasing
habitat heterogeneity on agricultural lands, decreasing
farming intensity, conserving old growth forest patches, and
creating wildlife sanctuaries. Urban areas could present suitable
habitat for a variety of bat species if bat roosts on
buildings are conserved and encouraged. Lastly, the large
carnivores, wolf, bear and lynx would benefit primarily from
an educated, tolerant public attitude.
