Understanding the full effects of #OrganicFarming on #biodiversity means considering the transition phase too.Our study reveals surprising impacts on 🦇 during this key stage.

Looking at the 🤑of pest predation of 🦇 in vineyards 🍷under climate change.
Using state-of-the-art eDNA, Species distribution Modelling, lots of fun fieldwork and economic analysis.

⚠️Bats and insect pests are being affected by climate change.
⚠️This might have important consequences for agriculture.

After 2+ years, 3 children (not all mine 😅) finally this paper is out! "Sexual segregation occurs in bats within fragmented remnant woodlands in an agricultural landscape" #bats #CitizenScience @PRLintott @BatDeterrentRes @_BCT_ @Ecol_Evol

Leaving from #Kent...What a huge success! We caught more than 100 bats, 7 UK #bat species 🦇Thanks to @gusbourne and #HamstreetWines for allowing to carry out my #PhD project on bat #ecosystemservices @AnnabelBiology @_BCT_ @NaturalEngland @UniofExeter
Great 2 days at Woodland Symposium organised by @_BCT_. 'Best quotes' for me were "We can form the @Ecologist Anonymous 😆, talking about failures are as important as success stories in ecology” and “ We are in a period of change, moving to an era of reshaping”🦇
1/5 #WBTC1 #BatLand1 Agricultural expansion & the resultant fragmentation of habitats has led to 🌎 declines in biodiversity, but how male & females 🦇 respond to landscape fragmentation?
We assessed sex differences in the use of fragmented woodlands using #CitizenScience data
5/5 #WBTC1 #BatLand1 We found more ♀️🦇 in poorly connected woodlands surrounded by #agricultural landscapes, demonstrating the importance of isolated remnant woodland and associated surrounding #habitats in highly fragmented rural environments.

Really interesting talk at #BatsinChurchesLIVE with @MathewsFiona and @MeganPower101 !🦇🧬If you've missed it, @BatsinChurches will be sharing the video link!

In Italy, emergency containment measures, as well as behavioral changes due to increased awareness of #Covid19, may have averted 200,000 hospitalizations as of March 25. In PNAS: ow.ly/EaTU50ztdBA

Follow up from @TiggaKingston on the @IUCN BSG statement:
We are adopting a precautionary principle until there is enough evidence to provide more specific guidelines. (1/2)
Sad to see all these tweets about watching all the series of Netflix or no screen time restrictions anymore while being in quarantine…no one mentions BOOKS! This is the best time to crack on with reading! #Books for ever 📚♥️
