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.
Take Action: Help Protect This Unique Bat Colony!

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
It’s been a long year waiting, but he’s finally turned up. Y6147 back for another swarming season. #bat #batswarming #chiroptera @JohnAltringham
🤗🤗🤗 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.

At 12 november 2023, there was a live #ballet performance of 12 minutes in Paris with an audience of 25.000 people. Its music was by #ThomasBangalter, known from #DaftPunk but this is vastly different. Half a year later, the clip of it is published. The title #Chiroptera refers to bats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCWRZ0wQHX8 https://damienjalet.com/project/chiroptera/
