All Chiroptera Are Bats

Dans la cave, au milieu de milliers de moustiques qui attentent des temps plus cléments, dort une petite boule de poils.
Coucou, qui c'est ?

Pensée à @gwenbras 😉

New review: Chock-a-block with beautiful photos, this introduction to bat biology is accessible to novices but adds enough depth to satisfy biologists studying other animals.

Bulgarian and Czech researchers discovered the world’s largest nursery colony of lesser horseshoe and Geoffroy’s bats in #Bulgaria. But it is threatened by a mega solar park.

New research on fruit bats that's actually kind of funny!

The bats prefer to say they discuss strongly. 😄

Pretty handy.

"We present an unconventional sedimentary charcoal record preserved in a modern, post-bomb bat guano deposit and compare its accumulation to historical fire data. We find strong correlations between charcoal accumulation rates (CHAR) and non-winter prescribed burns... Our analyses show that charcoal preserved in bat guano is a reliable paleofire proxy system..."

Question for spelunkers: when a cave has *lots* of bats, do you get bitten by mosquitoes when you are just hanging around near the entrance? Am curious because people keep telling me that installing bat houses gets rid of their mosquitoes. I'm skeptical of their anecdotes. And skeptical of similar opinions on bat conservation web pages. #caves #caving #mosquitoes #science #biology #bats #chiroptera #spelunking

🤗🤗🤗 We welcome Maike Bonacker, Lisa Jung, and Eva Orpel as new members @Mol_Ecol @uniinnsbruck !

They do their master theses as a team in an #urban #ecology project in #Tyrol/Austria.

Using #BatDetectors and nets, they inventory the #bats of Innsbruck to analyse species composition as a function of the #hemeroby gradient, from forests to city center.
