Africa: Some Animals Are More Equal Than Others - the Dark Side of Researching Popular Species: [The Conversation Africa] Biologists often form deep bonds with the species they study. For some, that relationship begins early in their careers and shapes decades of research. The connection can be personal, even affectionate, but it can also create tensions when others set their sights on the same… http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TNznDt #Africa #Biodiversity #WildlifeResearch #Conservation #SpeciesProtection

This is something special: meet Constantin, the parti-coloured bat! (Vespertilio murinus)
This little fellow was found in the german city of Magdeburg and was exhausted to the limit. After a lot of care he's doing well again.
Have you ever seen a parti-coloured bat before?

🦌 In collaboration with the Swiss National Park, our scientists have collected and curated the first richly annotated, multi-view, multimodal dataset that captures how wild mammals behave in the Swiss Alps.

MammAlps is designed to train AI models for species and behavior recognition tasks, and ultimately to help researchers understand animal behavior better and make conservation efforts faster, cheaper, and smarter.
