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. @batstothefuture @_BCT_ @NaturalEngland @GW4plusDTP #HSEAway23

⚠️Bats and insect pests are being affected by climate change. ⚠️This might have important consequences for agriculture. If you are a policy maker, conservation biologist, or farmer, join scientists from @batstothefuture at this online meeting: eventbrite.co.uk/e/climate-c… #bats

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

4/5 #WBTC1 #BatLand1 The study highlights that ♂️& ♀️🦇 respond differently to fragmented woodland landscapes.♀️ mammals often have higher energy requirements than ♂️, due to the demands of rearing young and thus are often found in higher quality habitats to meet those demands

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. Protect Enhance Create> #woodlands

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 📚♥️
