Annotation	Although two cryptic pipistrelle bat species, Pipistrellus pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus, belong among the most common bat species in Europe, it is still unclear whether they can migrate over long distances between summer and winter roosts. Migratory species may be expected to show low levels of genetic structuring in large areas due to regular mixing of the gene pool by mating that occurs during migration and/or hibernation. By analysing diversity of variable microsatellites within and among summer colonies in central Europe we found that differentiation between populations is very weak. Both classical FST and Bayesian clustering approach failed to detect genetic structure among colonies and there was no significant isolation-by-distance pattern. The results were very similar for the two species. The high level of gene flow among central European populations even on large geographic distances is discussed in relation with migrations, dispersal and mating behaviour.
