Bat boxes offer a safe haven for bats, but they may not be so safe during heatwaves. The temperature inside can rocket to more than 50C during the day when bats are roosting if the box is located in full sun, placing bats at risk of fatal dehydration journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

"The IUCN Red List now includes 172,620 species of which 48,646 are threatened with extinction." "Overall, 61% of bird species have declining populations – an estimate that has increased from 44% in 2016" iucn.org/press-releas...

When is the best time to nest? For Franklin’s Gulls, nesting time is a predictor of chicks’ survival outcomes and must be precisely timed with migration. So why do some parent gulls nest later than others? @invasivemm.bsky.social explains more in this #ConPhysInAction paper: doi.org/10.1093/conp...
