I am going to share my last fieldwork week in here, as a homage to my lost camera, which got RIPed during the process! Goodbye old friend, you will be deeply missed! 💔😢

Have you ever wondered how social media posts enhance public interest in a citizen science project? Get some good ideas from the newly published paper by @dlobo-wildlife.bsky.social & Co 🦇 ⬇️⬇️ link.springer.com/article/10.1... @batconservation.bsky.social @batcon.org @batswborders.bsky.social

Un artículo en Nature presenta el concepto de #DiversidadOscura: especies ausentes localmente pese a ser ecológicamente adecuadas. En 5415 sitios de 119 regiones, en áreas con baja huella humana, solo estaban presentes el 35 % de las especies adecuadas: ▶️ rdcu.be/eglMF #biodiversidad 👇

The first speaker at #SEBatConf is @jackhooker.bsky.social who has been reviewing the evidence of the impact of off-shore wind farms on bats. Bats are often not considered in the way farms are positioned and managed
