[ NEW TEAM PAPER ] 🦇🎤 Passive acoustic monitoring of 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘀 holds huge potential, but how do bat counts correlate with actual numbers? Which factors affect detectability? New metrics & models could revolutionize our understanding. Time to standardize protocols & share data! #BatResearch #Bioacoustics

🎉 The first article of my current postdoc is out in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science! We explored thermal affinity and diversity of beach wrack macrophytes along thermal and latitudinal gradients. More information ⬇️

New on European conservation science: 34% of Mediterranean coastal wetland sites (important for nonbreeding waterbirds) across eight countries are exposed to climate change-driven sea level rise. Verniest et al. in Conservation Biology conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Le 9 mars, un chercheur français du CNRS a été refoulé par les États-Unis alors qu’il se rendait à un congrès scientifique. L’Académie des sciences s’élève avec vigueur contre cette pratique qui met gravement en cause les libertés fondamentales du monde académique. urlr.me/fva3NE

🦇 New acoustic method to quantify cave-dwelling bats. 📈 By enhancing the Tadarida classifier with local recordings, researchers achieved up to 98% accuracy. This first local use confirms that quantitative bat assessments are feasible with minimal effort, even in data-poor regions. #bioacoustics

🦇Last paper by #TeamChiro is out! 90% of wind turbines approved in France are placed in areas critical for #bats, highlighting a failure to assess biodiversity significance. In this paper, we propose a modeling framework to promote a more biodiversity-friendly approach to renewable energy planning

Tatsuya Amano has shown that just reading the English literature misses 35% of the science, yet this is rarely included in syntheses or global assessments. The problem is much greater in many biodiverse areas. He is determined to change this. youtu.be/ky0TAnMOlfA?...
